A book series on key aspects of historical thinking and practice under
the editorship of Professor Alun Munslow is seeking more authors. The
series (published by Pearson Longman) examines the discipline of history
as it is conceived today in a climate that has increasingly questioned
the status of historical knowledge. Authors will be confident in their
openness not only to radical developments in their own field, but also
willing to help form the agenda for the future.

This call is for proposals in the next batch of titles:

Economic History
Cultural History
Race and Ethnicity
Gender and Sexuality

Ideas for other topics are welcome. The lead volume in the series was
published in 2003 ('The New History' by Alun Munslow) and others will be
published shortly (on film, imperialism, family and kinship, class,
etc). Contributors will survey the present state of their chosen field,
acknowledge its constructed nature, explore its historiography, and
explain by example its key features. It will be written in a manner
accessible to both students and historians. 80,000 words per volume
including Guide to Key Reading and a critical bibliography. Black and
while illustrative material may be used.
