Since the period 1918-1929 is important for the story of the American temperance movement and national prohibition, ATHGers may want to consider contributing to this reference work. **** CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS Encyclopedia of the Jazz Age: 1918-1929 M.E. Sharpe, a New York-based academic and reference publisher, and East River Books, a reference book producer, are seeking contributing scholars for a two-volume illustrated reference work on the history of the Jazz Age in America, from 1918 to 1929. The project is aimed at the academic high school and undergraduate levels. The General Editor is Dr. James Ciment. The encyclopedia will include articles on politics and government; business, economy and labor; family, community, and society; consumer and popular culture; and foreign affairs. There will be entries on individuals, places, ideas, events, institutions, and general themes. Articles will vary in length from 750-4,000 (depending on significance of topic). We are seeking contributors for articles and ancillary materials. Contributors will receive full authorial credit, a modest cash honorarium and/or copy of the full encyclopedia set (depending on contribution length and contributor preference). If you are interested in contributing to this exciting and important reference project--one we hope will be the definitive reference work on Jazz Age America--we would be happy to email you a prospectus with a full description of the project--with deadline, compensation, and other pertinent information, including a table of contents.
