Call for Submissions: "The Civil Rights Movement and Historical Memory"
We invite submissions of articles for an anthology on historical memory and the civil rights movement to be published by the University of Georgia Press. In the past twenty years, the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s has assumed a central place in American historical memory. This collection of essays will explore the many ways in which the civil rights movement has been constructed and disseminated in American historical memory, and what the
significance of particular memories of the movement are for contemporary politics and culture. We seek manuscripts on all aspects of the memory of the movement. Potential topics include: films, music, civil rights monuments and museums, the invocation of the movement in political debates, and the creation and use of civil rights "icons." Essays should be no more than 25 manuscript pages and should be written for a general audience. Send completed manuscripts to both editors by March 1, 2003.
