Anarchism Issue Planned for Journal for Study of Radicalism
JSR: Journal for the Study of Radicalism invites article submissions for a
special issue on anarchism. We particularly are interested in articles that
analyze a particular individual, group, or current within the broader
subject. We encourage articles on lesser known aspects of contemporary or
historical manifestations of anarchism, as well as contested areas within
anarchism. Topics might include black bloc tactics, the history of _Fifth
Estate_, _Green Anarchy_ and other periodicals, conflicts between anarchist
perspectives, violence and non-violence in anarchism, histories of
anarchism, anarchist communities, or international aspects of contemporary
anarchism. Generally speaking, the journal's historical focus is from the
early modern period to the present, and the geographic range is global, so
we'd be interested in articles discussing groups or individuals whose
influence is international, though this is not essential. JSR is an
interdisciplinary journal, and we encourage articles from a range of
disciplinary backgrounds. We are especially interested in articles that
include some original fieldwork, for instance, interviews or use of archival
sources.
Submissions should be 20-30 pages in length and conform to the Chicago
Manual of Style with endnotes. Please include a one-paragraph abstract, and
a brief author bio. Images for possible use in an article should be 300 dpi,
and authors are responsible for requesting and receiving permission to
reprint images for scholarly use. Send queries, proposals, and articles to
jsr@msu.edu. The deadline for submitting completed articles is September 1,
2009, and we encourage early submission to facilitate the review process.

JSR-a print academic journal published by Michigan State University Press-is
devoted to serious, scholarly exploration of the forms, representations,
meanings, and historical influences of radical social movements. With
sensitivity and openness to historical and cultural contexts of the term, we
loosely define "radical," as distinguished from "reformers," to mean groups
who seek revolutionary alternatives to hegemonic social and political
institutions, and who use violent or non-violent means to bring about
socio-political change.
