We invite you to submit a scholarly paper in a literary, historical, sociological, or political field of Afro-Latin American studies to be considered for publication in or Fall 1994 issue. We also welcome the submission of original lyrical, and fiction work, i.e., short stories, by writers of African ancestry.

Scholarly contributions from your outstanding graduate students, whose work you think merits publication, is also encouraged.

Approaches to any topic should be through the reality of the lives of blacks in Latin America. Although originality in theory and technique is highly recommended, great importance on quality will also be emphasized. To insure anonymity, only the title page should appear attached to the manuscript itself. Your cover letter (containing authorship information and institutional affiliation), should be a separate enclosure.

Please send us a 300 word abstract, as soon as possible, upon receiving or seeing this post. Your final paper should be submitted in duplicate (2 hard copies), and be limited to 15-20 double-spaced pages, plus bibliographies. Strict MLA guidelines should be followed, and the paper should be submitted by March 30, 1994 to either of the following professors:

JALAS&L (as we informally call the Journal of Afro-Latin American Studies and Literatures), was conceived of three years ago to promote scientific investigation and awareness of the many issues that have confronted African-Latin American citizens from colonial times to the present. Most importantly, this publication is unconditionally committed to underscoring the significance of the rich and diverse contributions of peoples with African ancestry to the life, culture, and the arts of the Americas.

Our journal has received a tremendously positive response from our academic community. We are very confident, indeed, that it will be a great tool for scholars in their research and classroom teaching of graduate and undergraduate students alike. Some of the most respected and well-known writers, critics, and scholars in the field, from the US and abroad, participate directly, or indirectly, in the life of this journal.
