Call for Papers

The editors of French Historical Studies seek articles for a special issue on Intersections of Race and Gender in French History. Articles on research topics covering all chronological periods are welcome. Among other possibilities, we invite articles treating the following topics:

  • Women and race, and or feminism and race, in the colonies/metropole
  • Colonial and post-colonial masculinity/manhood
  • Gender, whiteness, and racial identity
  • The segmenting of French national identity along the lines of race and gender
  • The impact of locality, region and/or other spaces upon understandings and experiences of race and gender

    Queries regarding submissions and all other matters should be addressed to the guest editors, Tyler Stovall (tstovall@berkeley.edu) and Jennifer Boittin (jab808@psu.edu).

    Articles may be either in English of in French but must confirm to French Historical Studies style and must be accompanied by abstracts of 150 words in both languages. Papers should be between 8,000 and 10,000 words (up to but not longer than 15,000 words including notes). For the inclusion of illustrations written permission must be obtained from the relevant persons or institutions for print and on-line publication.
