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

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.  At this time the project is almost
completely assigned with the exception of 48 topics.

*The list of 48 remaining entries currently available for assignment
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 December 31, 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 contact me by the e-mail information below. Please provide a
brief summary of your academic/publishing credentials in related
disciplines. I will provide you with submission guidelines and a
