Call for Contributors

Berkshire Reference Works is seeking authors to write on the following two
topics for the six-volume Encyclopedia of Modern Asia, Scribners, 2002:
Three Revolutions		200 words
April 19, 1960 Revolution	200 words

Coverageof the encyclopedia includes social and cultural topics as well as
contemporary issues and current events, including medicine, religion,
technology, political and human rights, ethnic relations, education, family,
arts, environment, sports, and cuisines. Geographically, we are covering
Asia from Turkey to the islands of Southeast Asia, as well as Asian
migration to and influence on the rest of the world. The Encyclopedia
focuses on modern Asia and takes a dynamic approach that emphasizes global
change, development, and regional and global relationships.

We have had a generous and enthusiastic response from the scholarly
community. Over 95% of the 3,100 articles are assigned and some 80% have
already been written.  The Encyclopedia is well underway for publication in
2002 by Scribners, New York.

A board of Asia scholars is supervising the project, and David Levinson is
the project director. He is a cultural anthropologist and served as
editor-in-chief of several major reference works, including the ten-volume
Encyclopedia of World Cultures (Macmillan 1991-5), the four-volume
Encyclopedia of Cultural Anthropology (Henry Holt 1995), and the recently
published two-volume Encyclopedia of Human Emotions (Macmillan 1999).

We have also have some China Southeast Asua, Southwest Asia
(Afghanistan/Pakistan) and West Asia (Turkey/Iraq/Iran) articles that need
to be assigned.
