congratulations on what looks to be a really good initiative, but I assume the editorial board will be expanded to include members who are based in Africa, Asia and South America? I add this because of a discussion this week with several Asian grad students as to quote 'western academic imperialism' with respect to journal editorial boards on regional journals! And it would be nice to be able to convey this to such grad students rather than having the line - and the issue of academic imperialism and transfer of local knowledge - revisited.

Call for papers
Recreation and Society in Africa, Asia, and South America
Recreation and Society in Africa, Asia, and South America is a new peer-review online journal that encourages the publication of original research into the relationships that exist between recreation (incorporating sport, leisure, events, and tourism) and communities and organisations at the local, national, and international levels within the context of Africa, Asia, and South America. Papers are invited from academics, graduate students, and those actively researching in relevant fields. Fields of research for potential manuscripts include, but are not limited to:
* Environmental impacts of recreation on individuals, local communities, and national and regional societies within Africa, Asia, and South America
* Recreation needs and provision within Africa, Asia, and South America
* Recreation and personal, social, and cultural identity within Africa, Asia, and South America
* Recreation as a tool of cultural integration in Africa, Asia, and South America
* Recreation, education, and the poverty cycle in Africa, Asia, and South America
* Benefits and drawbacks of the provision of recreational opportunities for international visitors from outside Africa, Asia, and/or South America
* Recreation and African, Asian, and South American migrants - the role of recreation in assimilation/acculturation and personal identity
Being an on-line journal publications do not need to be restricted to word-based documents. Rather, wholly or partially visual and/or audio based material may also be submitted to the journal for review and potential publication. Furthermore, given the nature of the focus of the journal and the potentially diverse nature of the authorship of the journal papers written in French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Arabic, Swahili, Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba, in addition to English, will be accepted provided they are accompanied by informative summaries, reference lists, and abstracts in either English. This innovative decision will only succeed if sufficient suitable multilingual reviews can be obtained so it is possible that authors who submit work in a language other than English may subsequently be asked to re-submit an English version. The journal will publish issues twice-yearly.
Submission Guidelines
Detailed submission guidelines may be found at: http://www.spreadcorp.org/rasaasa/gdln-rasaasa.html
Written articles should be no longer than 25 pages (double spaced) long.
Audio and/or visual submissions should run for no longer than 20 minutes
