THEORIA: Call for papers: Race Politics Contributions are invited for
a special issue of Theoria aimed at exploring the broad political,
social and economic implications of race in the contemporary world.
Contributors are encouraged to reflect directly on the changing nature
of race in the modern world, and on the major theories and theorists
that influence both how race is understood and explained and how it
impacts upon political, social and economic life. Questions which may
guide contributions include: In what ways does race remain an organizing
principle of social and political control and identity management? How
have the interrelationships between race, class and gender altered over
the past twenty years, in both global and general terms and in
particular cases and contexts? What can be learned from current and
continuing debates over the politics of race in such diverse contexts as
the Middle East, the United States of America, the European Union and
post-apartheid South Africa? What are the implications of various
definitions of race and racism in policy and public life? Can
constructions of *race* contribute to democratic change or are they
always to the detriment of democracy? What do international,
comparative, historical and philosophical studies reveal about the
relationships between race and nationalism, religion, ideology, culture
and ethnicity in the 21st century? For example, are * and if so, in what
way, and to what extent * nationalisms (old and new, European and Asian,
African and Afrikaner, Christian, Islamic and Zionist) indelibly
coloured by race and racism, and thus kindred phenomena? Is affirmative
action still an important and useful tool to ameliorate racial
inequalities, and what are its actual effects? Is multiculturalism
simply a legitimizing language for old racialized essentialisms?
Contributions from across the social sciences and humanities, both
discipline-specific and interdisciplinary, will be welcomed. The
deadline for submission of papers is 1 December 2008. An electronic
version of the paper (between 6000 and 9000 words in length, and
preferably in MSWord), including an abstract and a short biography,
should be sent to: Roger Deacon, Managing Editor: THEORIA,
