Essay Collection Geomodernisms: 'Race,' Modernism, Modernity
This collection seeks a select group of essays that interpret modernism as
one phenomenon of an uneven modernity, that is, a modernism emerging at
different times and places within such contradictory forces as technology,
diaspora, global capitalism, nationalism, and poly-lingualism. We are
especially seeking essays that probe the interlocking of cultural
aesthetics and geo-politics, taking into consideration the local and global
dimensions of a particular modernism.

The American Journal of Print seeks articles, essays, interviews on all
topics, provided they are explorations of the topics themselves and not

editions are published sporadically (although the aim is quarterly). Our
website has more information, and is updated with new content bi-weekly.
