Book Reviews for Journal of Multicultural Discourses (Routledge)

Thu Jul 23 23:15:40 UTC 2009

Dear Miguel,

I would be interested in conducting a review, if you are still looking for
someone. I am particularly interested in the Alim, Ibrahim and Pennycook
(2008) as I am currently considering adopting it for one of my courses on
language, ideology, and identity.

The following two are the references from below.

Alim, H.S., A. Ibrahim & A. Pennycook (eds.) (2008). Global linguistic
flows: hip hop cultures, youth identities, and the politics of language.
London: Routledge.

Duchêne, A. & M. Heller (eds) (2008). Discourses of Endangerment: Ideology
and Interest in the Defence of Languages. London: Continuum

Regards,

Aria Razfar

books you may be interested in reviewing can also be requested, just let us

Call for Reviews
Journal of Multicultural Discourses (Routledge)
Editor-in-Chief: Shi-xu
Review Editors: Sharon Harvey, Miguel Pérez Milans, Doreen Wu 
‘an exciting and much needed new development. The new journal will help to
question existing assumptions about discourse analysis and ultimately widen
understanding of the processes of language.’ Michael Billig, co-editor,
Discourse & Society, University of Loughborough, UK

The Journal of Multicultural Discourses (Routledge), edited by Professor
Shi-xu, is now calling for reviews of publications and events which are
relevant to the purposes of the journal
(http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/1744-7143). In summary, we are seeking
reviews that examine 1) the recovery and reconstruction of intellectual
traditions on language and communication from cultures outside the west
(and/or non-western cultures inside the west), including those discussing
the methods and epistemologies of such research and 2) studies in language
and communication practices outside mainstream cultures. For this new
journal, the editorial team is particularly interested in accepting
innovative and even provocative reviews which go well beyond content
summaries and promotional endorsements. A range of review formats will be
considered including but not limited to:
* A critical examination of several recent publications
* A fresh consideration of a historical text/s, particularly non-western
texts that have not previously been brought before an international audience
* A contrast and comparison of a seminal work with a recent publication in a
related field
* An analysis of several journal publications in an emerging field
* A description and critique of an event or series of events such as a
public lecture series, conferences or a postgraduate summer school.

The Journal of Multicultural Discourses has three reviews editors: Sharon
Harvey ( <mailto:Sharon.harvey at aut.ac.nz> Sharon.harvey at aut.ac.nz), Miguel
Pérez Milans (miguel_milans at hotmail.com) and Doreen Wu (
<mailto:ctdwu at polyu.edu.hk> ctdwu at polyu.edu.hk). While you can contact
either reviews editor to propose a review, Sharon will take responsibility
for reviews engaging with cultural studies (including postcolonialism) and
related disciplines; Miguel will be responsible for reviews on the cultural
diversity of language and communication as well as the scholarships on them;
Doreen will take primary responsibility for reviews dealing with linguistics
and communication. New books will be offered for review in the near future
and the reviews editors can request books you are interested in reviewing
from the publishers.

Reviews should be between 1,000 – 3,000 words long (all inclusive). If
requesting a book/books, your review should reach the review editor within
three months of your receipt of the book. Your review is likely to be
published within six to twelve months following the acceptance of the
manuscript. We are planning to include 4-6 reviews per issue (three issues
per year). Please see the journal website
(http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/1744-7143) for publication guidelines.
