CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of Societies Without Borders: Human Rights and the Social Sciences
“Race and Human Rights: Critical Histories, Inquiries, and Futures”
Editors: Edited by David L. Brunsma and James Michael Thomas
Societies Without Borders seeks manuscripts for a special issue broadly devoted to critically investigating and interrogating the historical, contemporary, and future linkages between race and human rights. Racism and discrimination are not merely social problems, they are violations of human rights, widespread global consensus, and international law. While human rights discourse has been dominated by western, European, white, nationalist, and imperialist philosophies, epistemologies, and ideologies it is also centrally obvious that the struggles of people of color, indigenous peoples, and racialized minorities have been fundamental to the collective, grounded, and progressive mobilization of human rights around the globe. Yet there is more to be done to understand this situation. “Race and Human Rights: Critical Histories, Inquiries, and Futures” seeks manuscripts that critically and empirically examine the struggles for Human Rights within a global context. For instance, the Black Freedom Movement and the building of Human Rights, the transition from discourses on civil rights to human rights on the international level, or the re-translation from an international discourse on human rights to local articulations as rights of citizenship.
The special section will be edited by David L. Brunsma and James Michael Thomas, Department of Sociology, University of Missouri. David L. Brunsma is race and ethnicity section editor of Sociology Compass, recent co-editor of The Leading Rogue State: The U.S. and Human Rights (Paradigm), and an executive committee member of Sociologists Without Borders. James Michael Thomas is a PhD student who has published on race, reparations, and human rights. Papers will be peer reviewed.
The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2008. Manuscripts should be limited to 4,000-6,000 words including all materials. See http://www.brill.nl/AuthorsInstructions/SWB.pdf for formatting guidelines. Submissions should be submitted as a Microsoft Word attachment to David L. Brunsma (brunsmad@missouri.edu) and James Thomas (JT) (jmt552@mizzou.edu) .
Inquiries about the review process or about a particular manuscript should be directed to David L. Brunsma at brunsmad@missouri.edu
