<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Southern Illinois University Press invites Canadian
authors to submit book proposals for their new theatre series. The goal of
<U>Theater in the Americas</U> series is to publish a wide range of scholarship
on theater and performance in the Americas, defining theater in its broadest
terms and including subjects that include all of the Americas.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The series focuses on the performance and
production of theatre and theatre artists and practitioners but welcomes studies
of dramatic literature as well. Meant to be inclusive, the series invites
studies of traditional, experimental, and ethnic forms of theater; celebrations,
festivals, and rituals that perform culture and acts of civil disobedience that
are performative in nature. We are interested in biographies of theater and
performance activities of all cultural groups, including biographies of
individuals, histories of theatre companies, and collections of
plays.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Interested authors should check the website for
Southern Illinois University Press for more information. Propoals and queries
should be addresssed to series editor, Robert A. Schanke at <A
href="mailto:schanker@aol.com">schanker@aol.com</A>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The two Canadian editors on the editorial board are
Denis Salter and Christopher Innes. They are also willing to field
questions about the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>series.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The press and the series editors will be attending
the convention of the Association for Theater in Higher Education in Toronto at
the end of July 12004.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Meanwhile, Season's Greetings!</FONT></DIV>

Afghanistan whose family has died in a bombing raid, a villager who has probably
never heard of the World Trade Centre, the distinctions between what the US
forces are doing and what was done on 11 September [2001] will be
academic."--Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, in Writing in the
Dust.</FONT></DIV>
