CFP: Book Reviews for Peace Review (no deadline noted; journal)

KERRY DONOGHUE

Peace Review is looking for Book Reviewers for each of its quarterly
issues. Our book reviews are generally short (usually 2000 words),
although we're also interested in book review essays (of two or more
books), which can run 3500 words. The reviews will appear in our
Recommended Book section, and thus we're looking for positive reviews
(although flaws should obviously also be mentioned, if appropriate).

Peace Review is also looking for books to review, in the general
category of peace and justice studies. If you have published a book,
and are looking for a review, then please send (or have your publisher
send) us a copy of the book.

For either of the above, please send to:
