> Greetings,
>
> We are inviting academic editorial contributors to a new reference work:
> Cultural Sociology of the Middle East, Asia, and Africa: An Encyclopedia.
> The four volumes include:
>
> Volume 1: Middle East
> Volume 2: Africa
> Volume 3: East Asia and Southeast Asia
> Volume 4: West, Central, and South Asia
>
> In our age of globalization and multiculturalism, it has never been more
> important for Americans to understand and appreciate foreign cultures-how
> people live, love, and learn in areas of the world unfamiliar to most U.S.
> students and the general public. The Cultural Sociology encyclopedia takes
> a
> step forward toward presenting concise information with historical and
> contemporary coverage of the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, as four
> volumes
> of area studies illuminate the powerful influence of culture on society.
> Each title comprises approximately 200 articles organized chronologically
> and alphabetically, addressing such academic disciplines as sociology,
> political science, women's studies, business, history, religion, law,
> health, education, economics, and geography. It is the intent of the
> encyclopedia to convey what daily life was/is like for people in these
> regions. Each article ranges from 600 to 3,000 words.
>
> This comprehensive project will be published by SAGE Reference in 2012 and
> will be marketed to academic and public libraries as a print and digital
> product available to students via the library's electronic services.
>
> If you are interested in contributing to this cutting-edge reference, it
> is
> a unique opportunity to contribute to the contemporary literature,
> redefining sociological issues in today's terms. Moreover, it can be a
> notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your publishing
> credits. SAGE Publications offers an honorarium ranging from SAGE book
> credits for smaller articles up to a free set of the printed product or
> access to the online product for contributions totaling 10,000 words or
> more.
