The editors invite essays for inclusion in a scholarly collection entitled ***Re/collecting Early Asian America: Readings in Cultural History*** that will concentrate on aspects of Asian American history and culture prior to the 1960s. The book will target important new areas of study as well as further well-established research, and will include perspectives from different fields, approaches, and methodologies from the humanities and the social sciences.
We encourage submissions in a variety of areas including the following:
* ARTS AND CULTURE. Studies of literature, theater, art and other cultural projects by Asian Americans or representations of "Asia" or "the Orient" dating from late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Of particular interest are works which have previously received relatively little scholarly attention.
* IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES. Studies which acknowledge the extensive research already done in Asian American history, and which introduce or further significant new research.
* THEORY. Studies which examine and/or contest the underlying structure and methodologies behind different versions of Asian American history.
* PEDAGOGY. Approaches to teaching early Asian American history and culture.
* SOURCE MATERIALS. Descriptive essays on archival and museum holdings and/or annotated bibliographies of source materials in university libraries and museums in the Americas.
