Labor: Studies In Working-Class History Of The Americas
LABOR: STUDIES IN WORKING-CLASS HISTORY OF THE AMERICAS to be published
by Duke University Press beginning in January, 2004. A set of irreconcilable
differences (to be detailed at another place and time) with Taylor &
Francis, the current owner-publisher of Labor History, has led to this
new venture and this new opportunity. With the active and eager cooperation
of an outstanding university press, I am convinced that our field is
poised for a sustained takeoff in scholarly achievement and impact on
the intellectual public culture. I am delighted that the entire editorial
team with whom I have had the pleasure to work during the past two years
will make the jump to LABOR.
Our mission, in a nutshell, is to build out from the honorable, intellectual
foundations of our field along lines both conceptual and geographic.
As to the latter, although we begin with and will continue to nurture
our strong base in U.S. history, we are serious about expanding our
literacy to encompass trans-national, comparative, and even global historical
developments. As evidenced both in our title and editorial structure,
however, our first ambition is to complement U.S.-centered work with
submissions on Canadian and Latin American/Caribbean history.
In the coming weeks, more details will be forthcoming about the publication
structure, subscription procedures, etc. of the new journal. Among other
initiatives, we are eager to seek a close, organic collaboration with
LAWCHA, the Labor and Working Class History Association.
In this new venture, we continue to be joined by an exceptional supporting
cast, including Associate Editors for Contemporary Affairs--James Green,
University of Massachusetts-Boston; Arts and Media-- Joshua Brown, American
Social History Project for Canadian History--Gregory Kealey, University
of New Brunswick; for Latin America/Caribbean History--John French,
Duke University
Editorial Committee: Dorothy Sue Cobble, Rutgers University; Cindy Hahamovitch,
College of William and Mary; Bruce Laurie, University of Massachusetts-Amherst;
Nelson Lichtenstein, University of California-Santa Barbara; Vicki Ruiz,
Arizona State University; Julie Saville, University of Chicago
Henceforth, all correspondence to LABOR will be handled as follows:
All manuscript submissions by Leon Fink and editorial coordinator, LisaMary
Wichowski c/o Department of History m/c 198, University of Illinois
at Chicago, 913 University Hall, Chicago, IL 60607, [email protected]
