ENDARCH
 
Journal of Black Political Research
 
 
Call for Papers
 
Endarch:  Journal of Black Political Research is a peer-reviewed journal published by Clark Atlanta University Department of Political Science.  The journal is published twice a year.  Endarch seeks to reflect, analyze, and generate activity, which will ultimately lead toward the expansion, clarification, and solidification of black political thought.  For this purpose, the journal publishes articles that report original investigations and contribute new scholarship to the field of political science.
 
For the Spring 2008 edition, the editorial board invites submissions that focus on the theme Politics of Race in the United States in the Early 21st Century. The year 2008 will mark the 40th anniversary of the Kerner Report, issued by the federal government in 1968.  The Kerner Commission was devised to investigate and report the findings of the urban riots, which permeated many African-American communities in the United States during the 1960s.  With recent incidents that remind us that race continues to be one of the conflict lines of American political life, scholarly articles that address the issue of what has happened to race relations in the United States since 1968 will be timely.  Articles submitted to Endarch may be in the form of comparative analyses, case studies, or may focus on theory or theory construction.
