'JSR: Journal for the Study of Radicalism' invites article submissions
for a special issue on anarchism. We particularly are interested in
articles that analyze a particular individual, group, or current within
the broader subject. We encourage articles on lesser known aspects of
contemporary or historical manifestations of anarchism, as well as
contested areas within anarchism. Topics might include black bloc
tactics, the history of 'Fifth Estate', 'Green Anarchy' and other
periodicals, conflicts between anarchist perspectives, violence and
non-violence in anarchism, histories of anarchism, anarchist
communities, or international aspects of contemporary anarchism.
Generally speaking, the journal's historical focus is from the early
modern period to the present, and the geographic range is global, so
we'd be interested in articles discussing groups or individuals whose
influence is international, though this is not essential. 'JSR' is an
interdisciplinary journal, and we enco
 urage articles from a range of disciplinary backgrounds. We are
especially interested in articles that include some original fieldwork,
for instance, interviews or use of archival sources.

Submissions should be 20-30 pages in length and conform to the Chicago
Manual of Style with endnotes. Please include a one-paragraph abstract,
and a brief author bio. Images for possible use in an article should be
300 dpi, and authors are responsible for requesting and receiving
permission to reprint images for scholarly use. Send queries, proposals,
and articles to jsr at msu.edu. The deadline for submitting completed
articles is September 1, 2009, and we encourage early submission to
facilitate the review process. See www.msupress.msu.edu/journals/jsr for
more information on the journal.

'JSR'-a print academic journal published by Michigan State University
Press-is devoted to serious, scholarly exploration of the forms,
representations, meanings, and historical influences of radical social
movements. With sensitivity and openness to historical and cultural
contexts of the term, we loosely define "radical," asdistinguished from
"reformers," to mean groups who seek revolutionary alternatives to
hegemonic social and political institutions, and who use violent or
non-violent means to bring about socio-political change.
