Dear German Studies list members,
I am writing again as reviews editor of our JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY EUROPEAN STUDIES, in search of reviewers for two books in the German Studies context which might be of interest to some of you working in the respective subject areas.
The two books are the following:
- Rebecca BRAUN, Constructing Authorship in the Work of Günter Grass (Oxford, 2008) pp.197, £55.00, ISBN 978-0-19-954270-3 (hbk)
- Kira KOSNICK, Migrant Media. Turkish Broadcasting and Multicultural Politics in Berlin (Indiana, 2008) pp.240, £12.99 ISBN 978-0-2532-1937-4 (pbk)
Our Journal has an extensive reviews section focusing on a wide range of books in an interdisciplinary social science context. Apart from focusing on a particular theme (see below for forthcoming issues), each issue also has non-thematic articles in the context of European Area Studies.
Our aim is to give space to a critical, non-Eurocentric debate about Area Studies theory and practice, and we aim to reflect this in the reviews section.
In their critical reading of books , reviewers should feel free to question the hegemonic order from a variety of different and radical perspectives.
Reviews are usually between 700-1000 words. Deadlines for reviews are 1st December 2008 (for 1/2009) or 1st April 2009 (for 2/2009).
Our forthcoming issues include - as usual - general European studies articles and also focus on the following specific themes:
- The EU and Russia (2/2008)
- Parties of the Far Right (3/2008)
If you are interested in reviewing one of the books, please contact me directly - [log in to unmask] ; I'll send the book to you, with our guidelines and some examples of previous reviews.
With many thanks in advance and looking forward to hearing from interested reviewers,
Martha
