Call for Contributors - Encyclopedia of the African Diaspora

The Encyclopedia of the African Diaspora will be international in reach, covering the five continents with documented African Diaspora communities. The Encyclopedia will provide a well-documented and readily accessible body of information about the most important historical, political, economic and cultural relations between people of African descent in the world community. Information on such a diverse group of people and wide ranging locations, across time and space, how they have impacted and been impacted by their environments, created and re-created cultural forms, movements is the focus of these two volumes.

We invite contributions to The Encyclopedia of the African Diaspora. This will be an excellent opportunity for Faculty and Graduate Students to share their research interests on this subject.

We are requesting short entries ranging from a paragraph (minimum 250 words) to more extensive (2,000 – 4,000) word subject essays.
