The Encyclopedia of Africa and the Americas (ABC-CLIO Transatlantic Relations Series) seeks entries and requests/proposals for entries. Entries are due by Apr. 30, 2006. A list of entries according to general categories is below. We also welcome suggestions for entries.
We seek entries that provide an objective and accessible overview of the transatlantic dimensions of the topic. A scholarly style is essential. Entries should draw upon a handful of authoritative printed secondary sources (not web sites, online resources or encyclopedias and general reference works) and the author's own knowledge of the topic.
All authors will be credited for their work along with their entries.
Please contact Richard M. Juang, Susquehanna University at juang@susqu.edu if you are interested in writing. Thank you for your interest.
