25th Anniversary Issue
Call for Interviews
suggested abstract
deadline November 15, 2009
submission deadline February
1, 2010
Sargasso, A Journal of
Caribbean Literature, Language, and Culture
is currently accepting interviews to be published in an upcoming 25th
anniversary issue. The special
issue, which marks two and a half decades of the journal’s existence, will
include 25 interviews with activists, artists, community leaders, researchers,
writers, and others who are in or have links to the Caribbean. Contributors are
asked to creatively explore ways in which the interview can complement the
celebration of this anniversary. The editors suggest that it offers ample
opportunity for innovation and a freedom of form and content that is often less
accessible in other types of scholarly inquiry.
Of special interest to this
project is interdisciplinary work that will later serve as a resource for
students, teachers, and researchers. This volume aims to represent the social,
cultural, geographic, and linguistic diversity of the Caribbean. Submissions can be in any Caribbean
language, including English, Spanish, French, and Papiamentu. Interviews with
persons from the smaller and less frequently studied parts of the region are
particularly encouraged. An extended on-line version of the volume will be
developed following print publication.
It will be made available on the journal’s website, as have previously
published interviews.
Interviews will be organized into 5 categories:
* Memory
* Writing and Art
* Activism
* Popular Culture
* Language and Linguistics
Interviews
should be no more than 6,000 words in length. Photos, illustrations, electronic
links, and other graphics are welcome. Potential contributors are asked
to share ideas with the editor prior to the submission deadline. They should write a short abstract
(max. 350 words) that describes the interview they would like to do and specify
the category into which it fits. For more
information, inquiries, abstracts, and submissions write to Don Walicek, at [log in to unmask] Please include
Sargasso 25th in the subject line.
