Atlantic Studies: Literary, Cultural and Historical Perspectives 
(New for 2004, Routledge)

Editors:
William Boelhower - University of Padova, Italy
Stephen Fender - University of Sussex, UK
Dorothea Fischer-Hornung - University of Heidelberg, Germany
Richard Follett - University of Sussex, UK
Maria Lauret - University of Sussex, UK

Aims and Scope:
Atlantic Studies provides an international forum for research and debate on
historical, cultural and literary issues arising within the new disciplinary
matrix of the circumatlantic world. In particular, it seeks to foster a
transcultural dialogue between the two hemispheres and, specifically, among
the nations of Europe, the Americas and Africa.

The Journal aims to celebrate the original Atlantic mappemonde: a highly
critical space, centered not on a single nation or land mass but on a new
cosmopolitan interchange of ships and peoples, cultures and texts, ideas and
tools.

Published on behalf of MESEA (The Society for Multi-Ethnic Studies: Europe
and the Americas), the Journal aims to be an important site for scholarship
on the comparative study of multi-ethnic cultures and societies. It
challenges nationalist histories and literatures by focusing on the Atlantic
as an arena of cultural change and exchange, translation and interference,
communication and passage.

Atlantic Studies accordingly invites submissions in the areas of history,
cultural studies, critical theory, and literature from academics, public
intellectuals, contemporary commentators, and activists whose focus of
interest lies in circumatlantic perspectives. The Journal will also publish
work based on such visual materials as photography, film, and information
media. Each volume will also include book and media reviews.

Atlantic Studies encourages both scholarly research and timely critical
debate on current issues within its chosen paradigm. In as much as they
develop a comparative and intercultural perspective, essays on race, class,
gender, ethnicity and on human rights, citizenship and identity politics
will
also be welcomed.

In the first instance, please send all contributions as Word 6 (95) or rich
text format email attachments to Stephen Fender, [log in to unmask]
Articles should be no longer than 7,000 words.

Submissions should be in English, typed in double spacing (including all
notes and references).

Submission of a paper to the journal will be taken to imply that it presents
original, unpublished, work not under consideration for publication
elsewhere. By submitting a manuscript, the authors agree that the exclusive
rights to reproduce and distribute the article have been given to the
Publishers.

MESEA, The Society for Multi-Ethnic Studies: Europe and the Americas, was
founded in response to the challenge of ethnic studies in a time of
increasing globalization to provide an international forum for
interdisciplinary discussion on multi-ethnic studies. The Society promotes
the study of the ethnic cultures of Europe and the Americas in their
circumatlantic relations from a transdisciplinary literary, historical and
cultural studies perspective. The society acts as a forum for cooperation
between universities, political institutions and ethnic communities as well
as supports the scholarly and cultural exchange between them in order to
further multi-ethnic understanding. For more information:
