Inspired by the rich print and in-person dialogues between these scholars, we propose developing an edited collection titled Post-Soul Afro-Latinidad: A Critical Reader. Including expanded versions of the original articles in Post-Soul Afro-Latinidades , we seek chapters for a book manuscript that will put contemporary theories of Afro-Latinidad in conversation with the work of post-soul and post-black theorists and cultural critics. Are the post-soul and Afro-Latinidad conceptually linked or conceptually discrete?
Can the lens of the post-soul reveal insights about both Afro-Latinidad and Latinidad that could not be revealed otherwise, and vice versa? In terms of scholarship, teaching, activism, and social cohesion, what do we stand to gain or lose by putting these concepts in conversation with each other? The co-editors of this proposed edited collection invite scholars from a wide range of fields in the humanities and social sciences to contribute chapters that critically explore the relationship between the post-soul and Afro-Latinidad in a wide range of subject areas, including, but not limited to, the following:.
The proposal should explicitly indicate how the author uses the post-soul and Afro-Latinidad as conceptual tools to answer their research questions and examine their topics of analysis. Please submit manuscripts to the co-editors by or before the May 1, deadline.
The co-editors will announce accepted proposals on June 1, The word limit for submissions is 6,, words, inclusive of endnotes and the bibliography. Submit article and essay manuscripts as Microsoft Word files only.
Regarding citation format, use the most recent version of the Chicago Manual of Style endnotes-only format. Regarding font, margins, and spacing, use a Times New Roman 12pt font, 1 inch page margins, and double-space line spacing for the entire document.
