[URBANTH-L]CFP: World History, Migration, Immigration and Travel (ABC-CLIO Encyclopedia Entries)

[Angela Jancius]

Call for Authors:

ABC-CLIO is in the process of developing a 21-volume Encyclopedia of
World History that should prove to be a central reference work in this
emerging field. We are seeking interested scholars to prepare 600-1200
word articles with a global perspective in the areas of World History,
Migration, Immigration, and Travel.

Authors will receive writing credits and free access to the online
version of the completed encyclopedia (List value: $1800). Authors who
contribute 3,000 words or more will also receive $300 in credit towards
purchase of ABC-CLIO books. Due date: April 27.

If you are interested in writing 1 or more of the entries listed below,
please send a c.v. to Fred Nadis and/or Monique Vallance:
