This is a re-posting with additional information. The editors of a collection of essays on "Implementing Brown v. Board of Education: School Desegregation in Selected *U.S. States*, 1954-1976" are seeking contributors. The 10-12 essays chosen or produced will each examine the struggle over school desegregation in a different U.S. state, with representation including the North and West. We prefer essays with interstate and national comparisons and conclusions. Key questions include: the role of the state NAACP, state government actions and policies, key attorneys/judges/judicial rulings, the geography and race relations variations within each state, ties to national events, the timeframe of desegregation (initial, token, substantial, busing if relevant), and analyses as to why desegregation proceeded as it did. The emphasis will be on how African Americans and other supporters of school desegregation attempted to implement the Brown decision to bring about school desegregation in key U.S. states. The collection is under contract with a southern university press, anticipated publication late 2005 or early 2006. Essay length will be approximately 20-25 pages, with initial submissions due in early fall 2004 and final submissions due January 2005. Interested or potential contributors, please respond with a CV and a 1-2 page research description, off-list to Brian Daugherity via email.
