Australian Critical Race and Whiteness Studies ejournal CFP
Special Issue
POST-RACIAL STATES
The Australian Critical Race and Whiteness Studies (ACRAWSA) ejournal is extending its call for submissions for a special issue on the theme: Post-Racial States.
Post-Racial States takes as its focus the term, “post-racial”, used to describe the media and political environment in the United States following the election of Barack Obama. The Post-Racial States issue asks whether we can say there is such a thing as a “post-racial” state, media or political environment. Does the idea of a “post-racial” state overlook the continuing occurrences of racial discrimination, the negation of Indigenous sovereignties, and the importance of anti-racism projects in exposing and challenging institutional and social racisms? Submissions need not be limited to Obama’s election. The issue is also interested in the relevance, if any, of this event to race relations in other cultural, political and geographical contexts.
The e-journal also publishes general articles with each issue and welcomes submissions from any discipline related to the field of critical race and whiteness studies.
Submissions for the special issue are welcomed from now until November 1st 2010. Articles should be between 4,000-8,000 words in length (double spaced pages) including tables, notes and references. An abstract of 200-300 words should accompany the article. Submission guidelines can be found at ACRAWSA’s website: www.acrawsa.org.au
Submissions and enquiries about the issue should be sent to Dr. Holly Randell-Moon: holly.randell-moon@mq.edu.au
