Call for Papers
"The First 100 Years: Documenting the Legacy of the NAACP"
The Journal of African American History (JAAH) is planning a Special Issue on the
history and legacy of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
(NAACP). Over the last 100 years, the NAACP has greatly assisted African Americans
and other oppressed groups in their struggles for civil rights, equal treatment, and
social justice. Scholars in numerous disciplines have investigated the ways in which
the NAACP has worked to end lynching and mob violence and to eliminate legal
segregation and the various forms of discrimination in employment, housing, public
accommodations, and education. Many recent studies have focused on the role of the
NAACP in the historic Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision and its
activities on the global stage.
This Special Issue of The Journal of African American History seeks scholarly essays
documenting the NAACP's legacy at the local, state, national, and international
levels. Essays focusing on the history, achievements, and impact of the organization
on the social, economic, and political conditions for women and various ethnic
minority groups are particularly welcome.
Among the topics to be considered in this Special Issue of the JAAH are 1)
litigation on race, class, and/or gender issues; 2) voting and civil rights
mobilization by NAACP branches; 3) relations between branch officers and the NAACP
national leaders; 4) ideological conflicts among NAACP leaders; 5) biographical
portraits of major NAACP local and national figures; and 6) the NAACP's responses to
Pan-Africanism, the Cold War and U.S. anti-communism, globalization, reparations,
and other international issues.
Essays should be no more than 35 typed, double-spaced pages (12 pt. font), including
endnotes. The JAAH uses the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition (Chicago, 2003)
for citations. Guidelines for the manuscript submission are available in The Journal
of African American History and on the JAAH web site: http://www.jaah.org/.
Submitted essays will be peer reviewed. Your cover letter should include the title
of your essay, name, postal address, email address, phone number, and fax number.
Your essay should begin with the title of the essay and should NOT include your
name.
Please send three (3) hard copies of your manuscript to:
