NATIVE AMERICA: A STATE-BY-STATE HISTORY
Greenwood Press invites scholars of Native American history to submit entries for its forthcoming publication titled Native America: A State-by-State History. This 3-volume set will cover North American Indian history in the United States from the pre-colonial period to the present. Intended for high school and college audiences, each chapter will be organized alphabetically by state. Some states will have shorter chapters, around 7,000-10,000 words in length; other states will be covered in 10,000 to 25,000 words. Each chapter will start with a chronology of events significant to Native American history in that particular state followed by a narrative overview of these events, a section highlighting notable individual Indians in the state, a brief essay on native cultural contributions to the state and a suggested readings list.
Interested potential authors should submit a cv noting their credentials and expertise as well as the name of the state(s) on which they would like to submit chapters. Established scholars and advanced graduate students are encouraged to contribute. Each author will receive an honorarium for their contribution, and depending on the number of entries submitted, may be eligible to receive a complimentary copy of the three volume set.
Approved contributors will receive an assignment and contributors’ guidelines document via email followed by a release form postal mailed from the publisher to be signed and returned. Complete entries are subject to a rigorous editing process and will be accepted for publication at the discretion of the editor and publisher.
Please send all inquiries to nasbsh@gmail.com.
