TINTA welcomes submissions for future issues at any time. Papers should be related to the literature, language, or culture of the Hispanic and Lusophone worlds. We publish once a year, in Fall. Articles received in November or after will be considered for publication in the next issue.

This special issue is devoted to the comparative study of global border regions. Since the emergence of border studies in the 1950s and 1960s, geographers, economists, anthropologists, and social and political scientists have examined a variety of national boundaries worldwide. The more recent focus in the humanities on the U.S.-Mexico border has helped transform U.S. American studies into a transnational discipline with emphasis on the comparative, relational, and intersectional study of citizenship, region, and migration. The limited attention to the U.S. boundary with Mexico within this current of Americanist scholarship has, however, threatened to replicate the very notion of U.S.

Danielle Coombs and I are currently soliciting brief proposals for essays to be included in an upcoming three-volume collection of essays (under contract to Praeger). The essays will focus on sports, history, and popular culture. Essays should be about 4,000- to 5,000-words in length and will be due in May 23, 2011. The three volumes will be arranged chronologically, so the essays should primarily focus on the topic within that era.

We would like to find writers to take on the unassigned chapters below, allowing for changes to title and focus as necessary. We can consider new chapters, but our primary focus is on the topics below.
