The Journal of American Ethnic History, the official journal of the
Immigration and Ethnic History Society, announces its call for a special
issue on “Homoerotic, Lesbian, and Gay Ethnic Immigrant Histories.”
Bringing together the well established field of ethnic history with that
the more recently growing LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender)
history and culture, the issue seeks to explore how ethnicity, immigration,
and sexuality inform one another in the making of identities, subjects, and
communities.
We seek articles challenging the assumption that immigration
and settlement take form only along heterosexual or heteronormative
arrangements, whether people’s movements across borders take place
individually or in groups that include family units.
We are especially
interested in historically framed and empirically based articles that
inform the creation of same-sex desires, identities and cultures among
immigrants, but also bisexual, transgender, and other less fixed
identifications when experiencing international border crossings and sexual
desires.
We also welcome contributions that bring to historiographical
light new creative and critical primary sources that document the immigrant
experiences of heretofore unknown “queer” ethnicities in the U.S.
In all,
the special issue seeks innovative historical scholarship that privileges
the experience of diverse non-heteronormative sexual arrangements in the
process of immigration for new ethnic Americans.
Manuscript submissions to the Journal should be in quadruplicate, a maximum
of thirty-five pages, with endnotes on separate sheets and following the
Chicago Manual of Style 15th edition (no electronic submissions).
Prospective authors should include a brief 50-100 word bio suitable for the
journal's "Notes on Contributors" section and a disk or CD containing files
of both the bio and the article, prepared in IBM compatible MS Word 2003
format. Since manuscripts are sent out anonymously for evaluation, the
author's name and affiliation should appear only on a separate cover sheet.
In addition, prospective contributors are encouraged to obtain further
information on the Immigration and Ethnic History Society and the Journal
of American Ethnic History at <http://www.iehs.org/>www.iehs.org or e-mail
