Calls for Papers

Gatherings: New Directions in Indigenous Book History

Dan Radus (SUNY Cortland) and Amy Gore (North Dakota State University)

We solicit proposals for chapter length contributions (4,000-6,000 words) to our proposed edited collection, Gatherings: New Directions in Indigenous Book History. We welcome original research on the material book’s relation to the Indigenous peoples of North America, including analyses, reflections, and provocations. For example, how might we define an Indigenous book? How have these books moved within, across, and outside Native communities? What material techniques and innovations have Indigenous authors, printers, publishers, and authors brought to the book? Where does Indigenous book history engage with, and depart from, other histories of the book?

Please send proposals (250-500 words) and brief biographies (100 words) to Amy Gore (amy.gore@ndsu.edu) and Dan Radus (daniel.radus@cortland.edu) by March 1, 2024. Proposals for collaborative work are welcome. If accepted, completed chapters of 4,000-6,000 words will be due in fall 2024.
