MultiCultural Review is a quarterly trade journal and book review for educators and librarians at all levels. In addition to regular columns, announcements, and news, MultiCultural Review contains four feature articles in each issue. These feature articles may be one of the following types: 1) discussions of current issues related to multiculturalism in the United States; 2) bibliographic essays or bibliographies on current issues related to multiculturalism; 3) ethnographic articles on specific groups; 4) bibliographic articles on specific groups, highlighting children’s and/or adult books; 5) articles on non-print resources (audio, video, software, online sources) that present diverse cultures; and 6) practical articles on multicultural pedagogy or librarianship. Article queries, with proposal, contents, and writing samples, are strongly encouraged. All inquiries regarding writing assignments (features and reviews) should include a resume and writing samples.

Articles should be no more than 6,000 words in length. The mini-mum preferred length for a feature article is 2,000 words. If appropriate, provide illustrative material (photographs, line art, charts, or graphs). DO NOT submit irreplaceable items! No remuneration, however, is offered for expenses incurred in the production of such elements. Work should be submitted in disk form (either Mac or PC format is fine), with one paper copy of the manuscript, double-spaced.

Please allow at least eight to twelve weeks for a response to submitted manuscripts. Submission of time sensitive news or features should be made at least three to four months in advance of the event.
Book reviewers in all subject areas are always wanted and needed. Include detailed information concerning areas of interest, specific formats (books, audio, video, or software), expertise, special preferences, and schedule requirements. Reviews should be limited to 200 words. Two or more works can be included in a single review, but the total length should not exceed 500 words. Remuneration is limited to the title reviewed and a copy of the issue in which the review appears. Reviewers are welcome to suggest titles for review, but approval for such reviews must be obtained from the editor-in-chief. Please do not submit unsolicited reviews.

Writers are responsible for obtaining any necessary permissions from the copyright owners for publication of copyrighted work. In the case of photographs, permissions must be obtained from any individuals featured or from the copyright owner of any art works depicted. Copies of such permissions must be supplied with the final submission of the work. Writers are expected to follow traditional standards of scholarly /professional writing and reviewing. (The Chicago Manual of Style and Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary are the style preferences, but other commonly accepted references may be used.)

Submissions for Review

Please provide complete name, title, affiliation, address, and telephone number (include FAX number, if available) when submitting materials for consideration. Articles must be timely and geared specifically to the issues relative to or impacted by multiculturalism. The primary focus of the journal is on the United States, though articles that present comparative perspectives or focus on the roots of American ethnic, racial, or religious groups are also welcomed. Perspectives and opinions should demonstrate knowledge of and sensitivity to diversity. Alternative viewpoints, though, are encouraged, and articles featuring a dialogue of such perspectives will receive particular attention.
