Call for Great Plains Scholars:
I am presently editing a text on the Great Plains as part of an eight-volume American regional culture series to be published by Greenwood Press in 2004. This series is designed to be the definitive reference for American regionalism for years to come and works to establish as sense of place for the each region by exploring themes such as: Architecture, Arts, Ecology and the Environment, Ethnicity, Fashion, Film, ƒnFolklore, Food, Literature, Music, Religion, and Sports and Recreation
The text I am editing will offer an accessible overview of each theme and its role within the region in order to provide a comprehensive sense of Great Plains culture. Our core audience will be high school and university students as well as public library patrons. I am looking for authors to assign the following thematic chapters:
- Arts
- Literature
- Ethnicity
- Fashion
- Film
- Folklore
- Food
- Music
- Sports/recreation
Word Length: 15,000 and bibliography
Deadline for chapter submission: August 1st 2003
Illustrations and primary documents encouraged
If you are interested in being a part of this exciting opportunity to articulate a sense of place for the Great Plains please submit your curriculum vitae for consideration to Amanda Rees indicating the chapter you are interested in writing. (Please note this is NOT a call for the submission of articles.)
