>>>CALL FOR PAPERS
>>>
>>>_COLLAGE IN WHITE_
>>>FEMINIST PHILOSOPHICAL REFLECTIONS
>>>ON RACE AND IDENTITY
>>>Edited by Kim Q. Hall and Chris J. Cuomo
>>>
>>>For a collection of philosophical narratives to be published by Rowman and
>>>Littlefield in 1998, we invite submissions from women (of all races and
>>>ethnicities) on whiteness, including white racial identity, whiteness and
>>>class, whiteness and sexuality, and experiences of white racial formations.
>>>
>>>This book will be a collection of original narrative self-reflexive essays
>>>reflecting on the experiences and meanings of being white in racist,
>>>white-supremacist contexts. By considering whiteness as it shapes and is
>>>infused by gender, class, sexuality, and culture, these reflective
>>>interrogations of whiteness are meant to complicate simplistic understandings
>>>of categories such as _white_ and _woman_.
>>>
>>>We invite contritutors to deviate -- through narrative-- from strict
scholarly
>>>formats in articulating and analyzing what it means to be white. We are also
>>>looking for narratives which seek insight through learned reflection.
>>>Submissions should be philosophical in the sense of aiming toward wisdom
>>>concerning understandings of whiteness.
>>>
>>>While this collection is meant to add a variety of voices to discussions
>of the
>>>meanings and construction of whiteness, it is not an attempt to present a
>>>definitive illustration of what it means to be white women. Rather, it is
>>>meant to be a collage of reflective narratives in which we might see
>>>significant patterns, contradictions, and other points of theoretical
interest
>>>for struggles against racism and racialism.
>>>
>>>The collection will address (at least) the following themes:
>>>Childhood and Home; White/Woman/Teacher; Whiteness in Popular Culture;
>>>Nationalism and Race; Embodiments of Racial Meanings
>>>
>>>We encourage contributors to be attentive to the ways in which
experiences and
>>>understandings of the meanings of whiteness are complicated by various
aspects
>>>of embodiment, including color, class, gender, sexuality, culture, and
>>>ethnicity.
>>>
>>>Send submissions (2500 words, approx., hard copies only) by *August 15, 1997*
>>>to:
>>>Chris J. Cuomo
>>>Department of Philosophy, Mail Location 374
>>>University of Cincinnati
