CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS

'Palestine and the Postcolonial: Culture, Creativity, Theory'

Special Issue of the Journal of Postcolonial Writing, 50:2 (2014)

Editors: Prof Patrick Williams, Dr Anna Ball
(Centre for Colonial and Postcolonial Studies, Nottingham Trent University)

The year 2013 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of W.E.B. DuBois' death. As the premier historian, sociologist, and civil rights activist of the twentieth century, DuBois certainly left his mark within the African Diaspora and beyond. His seminal work, The Souls of Black Folk (1903) includes his prescient formulation that "the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line." Later on, he published Black Reconstruction (1935) and founded two journals, Phylon and The Crisis—this latter one was the official publication of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

CFP: Spring 2013 theme issue: Purple

MP: An Online Feminist Journal invites submissions for its Spring 2013
theme issue. While previous theme issues have centered on feminist
inquiries into family and children, the body, and transgender issues,
for this theme issue we are looking to try something a little
different.

For a collection on "Contemporary Black Female Sexualities," the editors invite essays that explore black women's sexualities--and representations or manifestations of black female sexual desires--marked by agency and empowerment, as well as instances wherein black women's sexual intimacies are regulated by them.

All the breath and the bloom of the year in the bag of one bee:

The conference will feature a keynote panel including Isobel Armstrong, Robert J. Richards, and Herbert Tucker, and a walking tour of Victorian Boston led by Martha Vicinus.
