Request for assistance identifying book reviewers

[Elizabeth Keating]

Dear Colleagues:

Please take a moment to review the below (or attached) list of newly 
published books. We at the Journal of Linguistic Anthropology are 
requesting your help in either reviewing these books or suggesting 
reviewers for them. We have so far been unable to find relevant experts who 
also have time, so we are asking your help in identifying other experts. We 
very much appreciate your time in helping with this vital role of bringing 
new books to the attention of all of us.

If you are interested in reviewing, or can suggest names of reviewers, 
please reply to this email or email: 
<mailto:journla at uts.cc.utexas.edu>journla at uts.cc.utexas.edu.

Recently many of you have participated in an animated discussion of whether 
book reviews should be published in print or online. We are still working 
with the problems that originally raised the issue, namely rising costs in 
printing and rising numbers of manuscript submissions. Our hope is to be 
able to both print book reviews and post them online in the future.

Many thanks,

Elizabeth Keating, co-editor, Journal of Linguistic Anthropology
