Race and ethnicity as social categories and concepts continue to 
generate critical perceptions of differences that ultimately define who 
we are in local, national and international settings. We are looking for 
academic essays that provide an in-depth look at issues of race, 
ethnicity and communications from the Eastern European, Russian and East 
Asian perspectives. Contributions will not only identify the malaise of 
our times with regard to the topics of race and ethnicity, but will also 
provide a bridge to understanding our historical and political pasts 
that affect our present and will continue to have an impact on our 
future. Potential approaches could be built on, but not limited to, the 
following areas:
