Call for Authors:

The Encyclopedia of Western Colonialism Since 1450
The Gale Group/Macmillan Reference USA

Thomas Benjamin < benja1t@cmich.edu>, Editor-in-Chief, wishes to invite
scholars to contribute to a valuable encyclopedic project on Western
colonialism. The name of the project is _The Encyclopedia of Western
Colonialism Since 1450_ by The Gale Group/Macmillan Reference USA. This
encyclopedia is organized in the following five regional divisions: The
Americas, Africa, the Middle East, and East Asia and the Pacific. The
articles of each regional division are supervised by an Associate Editor.

_The Encyclopedia of Western Colonialism Since 1450_ is a project of
three volumes that will contain approximately 500 articles. These
articles range in length from 500 to 5,000 words. Authors of these
articles will be recognized by name. Authors are paid $ .11 US per word
and receive a contract from the Gale Group that specifies the title of
the article, a description of the topic, the word-count of the article,
the date of delivery of the article to the publisher, and payment.

At this moment we have a few articles left to be assigned. Persons
interested in writing one or more articles need to send their CV and
contact Dennis R. Hidalgo <hidalgo@stolaf.edu> or the appropriate
Associate Editor. The Editors will provide scope descriptions for each
article, a date for delivery, and answer questions relevant to the
articles and the larger project. If a potential contributor is
interested, for example, in writing an article about Francisco Pizarro,
an article in the regional division of THE AMERICAS, that person should
contact Professor Anthony McFarlane. Some editors, however, are
responsible for certain trans-regional articles. Articles about the
colonial legal system of each empire are assigned by Professor Eileen
Scully.

The project has attracted an impressive international group of scholars
and we are very excited to see the quality and scope of the responses.
We would very much appreciate your participation too. Your contribution
will add significant value to the quality and diversity of this
encyclopedia.

This is the contact information for the area editors.
