Social Identities: Journal for the Study of Race, Nation and Culture 

The Editors are pleased to announce a special issue of Social 
Identities devoted to exploring the hidden and explicit ways 
racial ideology is embedded in the performative practices of 
architecture. We are looking for manuscripts that examine 
vexed and often unspoken ways in which notions of race and identity 
are inscribed in the discourse of architecture and 
architectural practices as well as in shaping the built environment. 

Social Identities is a leading academic journal devoted to examining 
changes concerning social identities such as race, 
nation and ethnicity, as well as the emergence of new forms of racism 
and nationalism as discriminatory exclusions. Social 
Identities aims to furnish an interdisciplinary and international 
focal point for theorizing issues at the interface of social 
identities. 

The journal is especially concerned to address these issues in the 
context of the transforming political economies and 
cultures of postmodern and postcolonial conditions. Social Identities 
is intended as a forum for contesting ideas and 
debates concerning the formations of, and transformations in, socially 
significant identities, their attendant forms of 
material exclusion and power, as well as the political and cultural 
possibilities opened up by these identifications 

Three complete copies of each manuscript should be submitted. They 
should be typed on one side of the paper, double 
spaced, with ample margins, and bear the title of the contribution and 
name(s) of the author(s), along with a copy on 3.5 
inch disk in ASCII text, WordPerfect, Word for DOS, Word for Windows, 
Microsoft Word or RTF format. The full postal 
address of the author who will check proofs and receive correspondence 
should also be included. All pages should be 
numbered. Footnotes to the text should be avoided wherever this is 
reasonably possible. For further information, please

The deadline for submission is Friday, January 9, 2004. Manuscripts 
for the special issues should be sent to the Guest 
Editor (contact below).
