Scholarly Collection: Call for ContributorsWorking Title: Calling it by its Name: Analyses of White U.S. LiteratureDeadline for Submissions: December 15, 2024We are looking for contributions theorizing how White U.S. Literature might be outlined and/or be better understood as a product of a particular racial lens. We understand a single collection cannot fully attend to the complexity of this topic. However, there is real value in building off work done by writers—including Valerie Babb, Stephanie Li, Toni Morrison, Aldon Lynn Nielsen, and Nell Irvin Painter—who recognize the dangers of leaving Whiteness unseen and unspoken. This edited collection, then, seeks to continue the conversation by calling further attention to strategies White U.S. writers utilize to maintain or dismantle constructions of White racial identity and power. Put simply, we aim to produce a collection that further illuminates how Whiteness is constructed and to what end those constructions are employed.We are open to a wide range of writing styles, views, and topics.
