CALL FOR PAPERS
SPECIAL ISSUE ON IMMIGRATION
Editors: Marcella Bencivenni and Ron Hayduk

Socialism and Democracy invites submissions of articles from academics, 
graduate students, independent scholars, and activists for a special 
issue on immigration edited by Marcella Bencivenni (Hostos Community 
College, CUNY) and Ron Hayduk (Borough of Manhattan Community College, 
CUNY), to be published in July 2008. We welcome contributions across 
disciplines – history, political science, sociology, economics, 
anthropology, cultural studies, visual arts – on various themes related 
to immigration and ethnicity. Essays may center on a specific immigrant 
group in the United States – such as Mexican Americans, Chinese 
Americans, Italian Americans – or can take a more comparative, broader 
approach, comparing the experiences of different ethnic groups within 
the U.S. or between the U.S. and other countries. We especially welcome 
progressive approaches that help redefine traditional notions of 
immigration and expand our understanding of immigration and identity 
politics within a global context.

Suggested themes may include, but are not limited to:

	Immigrants and the Left
	Immigration and gender
	Ethnic identity, racialization and assimilation
	Transnationalism and the militarization of borders (ie. the US-Mexico 
border)
	Immigration and the housing crisis
	Immigration and professional sports
	Immigration, citizenship, and voting rights
	State policies, economic regulations and transmigration
	Forced migration and refugee movements
	Migration and globalization
	Immigration restrictions and human rights
	Cultural production by or about immigrants (literature, film, art, music)

Papers should be no longer than 30 double-spaced pages (6,000-9,000 
words), including notes and bibliography. Papers, along with a short 
biographical note, can be submitted either electronically (in the form 
of a Word Document, sent as an attachment) to Marcella Bencivenni 
(mbencivenn at cs.com ) and Ron Hayduk (rhayduk at igc.org) or in two printed 
copies to Socialism and Democracy’s editorial office: 411A Highland 
Avenue, # 321, Somerville, MA 02144.

                                           Deadline for submission is 
December 2007
