CFP: Asian America History and Culture: An Encyclopedia

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS - Asian America History and Culture: An Encyclopedia

M.E. Sharpe, a New York-based academic and reference publisher, and East River Books, a reference book producer, are seeking contributing scholars for a two-volume reference work on the history and culture of Asian Americans. The project is aimed at the academic high school and undergraduate levels. The General Editors are Dr. Huping Ling of Truman State University and Dr. Allan W. Austin of College Misericordia.

The majority of the entry articles have been assigned and we are continuously seeking contributors for the remaining articles. Contributors will receive full authorial credit, a modest cash honorarium, and/or copy of the full encyclopedia set (depending on contribution length and contributor preference).

If you are interested in contributing to this exciting and important reference project--one we hope will be the definitive reference work on Asian America history and culture—please review the attached prospectus with a full description of the project--with deadline, compensation, and other pertinent information, including a table of contents. Please contact Allan Austin at aaustin@misericordia.edu if you are interested.

If you cannot contribute, please feel free to forward this email to any potentially interested scholars (either professors or graduate students).

Sincerely,

Drs. Huping Ling and Allan W. Austin, General Editors
