The Rocky Mountain Review & The Rocky Mountain E-Review
Call for Submissions:
Special, Guest-edited Issue: "Crossing Borders/Creating Worlds"
"Crossing Borders/Creating Worlds," is the special topic of an on-line volume of the Rocky Mountain Review
(the journal of the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association), to be published in Summer 2012.
This special issue aspires to explore the literary production of various immigrant and diaspora communities, in any geographic context.
How do these communities articulate themselves? How are borders navigated? What are the impacts of migration on nations, groups, and individuals?
We seek scholarly articles on literature which focuses on the movement of peoples -- both within and between nations - in our current
globalized world. How do these writers and characters create new worlds to inhabit, and how "real" are these creations? In what ways can
borders be both literal, physical boundaries, as well as the production of tradition and belief in our own minds and communities?
What are the issues of identity, belonging and unbelonging?
The Rocky Mountain Review is a refereed, scholarly journal. For this special issue, we seek articles of approximately 2,500-3,000 words,
formatted and cited according to current MLA style guidelines. Articles are to be submitted electronically, with an abstract;
all information which might identify the author should be removed from the file.
To submit your article for consideration, or for submission-related queries, please contact our Guest Editor, Feroza Jussawalla,
Professor of English at the University of New Mexico, at fjussawa@unm.edu. All submissions must be received by March 5, 2012 to be
eligible for consideration in this special issue.
