| Title | Encyclopedia Latina: History, Culture, Society |
| Body | From: "Anselmo Villanueva" CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS Contact Jennifer Acker directly at ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Grolier Publishers announces the development of a groundbreaking four-volume reference set, the Encyclopedia Latina: History, Culture, Society, devoted to Latinos in the United States. The editor is Ilan Stavans. The Encyclopedia will be a multidisciplinary, one-million-word set on Latinos in America, covering history, literature, art, popular and folk cultures, science, politics, religion, business, demographics and law. This Encyclopedia brings together the work of many scholars in a reference work designed both to introduce the field to nonspecialists and to indicate the state of current scholarship to the following groups: upper high school and undergraduate students; librarians; academics; and the general public. Each of the approximately 700 entries will be thorough, informative and objective. There are four length categories: 500-word; 1,000-word; 2,000-word; and 4,000-word. All entries will be signed and will include bibliographies and cross-references. Some illustrations will be used, as well as reproductions of primary source material in appendices. Currently, we are inviting scholars, writers, and experts to be contributors to the Encyclopedia. All interested candidates should contact me at the following information: name; affiliation; contact information (phone and e-mail are sufficient); statement of area of interest and expertise; and a short writing sample. I look forward to hearing from you, Jennifer Acker Project Manager Encyclopedia Latina |
