The Journal of American Ethnic History

The Journal of American Ethnic History, the official journal of the Immigration and Ethnic History Society, is published quarterly and focuses on the immigrant and ethnic/racial history of the North American people. Scholars are invited to submit manuscripts on the process of migration (including the old world experience as it relates to migration and group life), adjustment and assimilation, group relations, mobility, politics, culture, group identity or other topics that illuminate the North American immigrant and ethnic/racial experience. The editor particularly seeks essays that are interpretive or analytical. Descriptive papers will be considered only if they present new information. Manuscripts must focus on ethnicity, etc. rather than simply ethnicity as part of a discussion on politics, cities, unions, etc.

Each journal issue contains articles, review essays and single book reviews. There are also occasional sections on "Research Comments" (short articles that furnish important information for the field, a guide to further research or other significant historical items that will stimulate discussion and inquiry) and "Teaching and Outreach" (essays which focus on innovative teaching methods or outreach efforts). The journal has also published special issues on particular responses from authors on specific topics such as the one on "Immigration History: Assessing the Field."

Manuscript submissions to the Journal should be in quadruplicate, a maximum of thirty-five pages (double-spaced), with endnotes on separate sheets and following the Chicago Manual of Style (no electronic submissions). Prospective authors should include a brief 50-100 word bio suitable for the journal's "Notes on Contributors" section and a disk containing files of both the bio and the article, prepared in IBM compatible MS Word 2003 format.  Since manuscripts are sent out anonymously for evaluation, the author's name and affiliation should appear only on a separate cover sheet. Please address all manuscript submissions to John J. Bukowczyk, Dept. of History, 3094 Faculty/Administration Bldg. Wayne State University, Detroit, MI 48202 U.S.A. Authors should be sure to provide their email and mailing addresses. Please note that the journal does not publish previously published material.


Correspondence regarding book reviews should be sent to Allan Austin, Book Review Editor,  Department of History, Misercordia Univeristy, Dallas, PA E-Mail: mailto:aaustin@misericordia.edu
