[ecrea] CALL FOR AUTHORS: Multicultural America: A Multimedia Encyclopedia

Greetings,

We are inviting academic editorial contributors to Multicultural 
America: A Multimedia Encyclopedia, a new 4 volume reference work to be 
published by SAGE Reference in 2013.

*The list of currently available topics follows this message below*

Multicultural America: A Multimedia Encyclopedia presents 
state-of-the-art research, ready-to-use facts, and multimedia pedagogy. 
The approximately 950 signed entries (with cross-references and further 
readings) will cover issues in historical and contemporary ethnic and 
multicultural studies. The print 4 volumes and the online edition with 
100 videos will include information relevant to the following academic 
disciplinary contexts: the demographic and cultural balance of the 
United States today and tomorrow; arts and media; business and 
economics; criminal justice; education; family studies; health; media; 
military; politics; science and technology; sports; and religion. From 
A-to-Z, this work covers the spectrum of defining and illuminating 
multiculturalism. The goals of this encyclopedia are to help readers 
gain a better understanding of:

* the historical development of multicultural America.
* the contemporary American multicultural mosaic.
* the possible future trajectories of American multiculturalism.

In writing, contributors should consider their entries’ contribution to 
these three goals. Where appropriate, entries should include data from 
and references to the 2010 United States census.


We are currently making assignments with a final deadline for 
submissions of September 1, 2012.


This comprehensive project will be published by SAGE Reference in 2013 
and will be marketed to academic and public libraries as a print and 
digital product available to students via the library’s electronic 
services. The General Editor, who will be reviewing each submission to 
the project, is Dr. Carlos E. Cortés, Professor Emeritus of History, 
University of California, Riverside.



If you are interested in contributing to this cutting-edge reference, it 
is a unique opportunity to contribute to the contemporary literature, 
redefining sociological issues in today’s terms. Moreover, it can be a 
notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your 
publishing credits. SAGE Publications offers an honorarium ranging from 
SAGE book credits for smaller articles up to a free set of the printed 
product for contributions totaling 10,000 words or more.



If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding 
reference with Multicultural America: A Multimedia Encyclopedia, please

summary of your academic/publishing credentials in related disciplines. 
I will provide you with the submission guidelines and sample article for
