A CALL FOR ARTICLES: 40 Year of the Chicano Moratorium and the Anti War Movement: The War on Terrorism in the U.S. Empire

The Raza Press and Media Association (RPMA) is the only national group of progressive Raza journalists working towards winning justice, peace, and freedom for all Mexicano-Latinos (Raza). We meet on a regular basis, have an organizational structure, principles of unity, objectives, and we consistently published a journal, Guerrillera/os de la Pluma.

In response to the continuing and growing assaults on our communities by the various U.S. intellectual institutions (media, academicians, authors, think tanks, etc.), the RPMA is making a call to Raza active in the field of media (journalism, radio, video/film, popular art, spoken word, etc.) to submit articles related to the “Raza Press, Media, And Popular Expression” for publication in the Summer 2010 issue of our journal.

The Summer 2010 Special issue of the Guerrillera/os de La Pluma will focus on the question/theme of the War on Terrorism in the U.S. Empire. Articles/art work must address, for example, the question of the Chicano Moratorium, the Anti War Movement, Gang Enforement, human and civil rights, Border Issues, Immigration Rights, and Racist Laws etc. –from a PROGRESSIVE or REVOLUTIONARY Raza perspective. Jose G. Moreno, which is a member of the Raza Media and Press Association, will conduct the editorial work for this special issue. Priority will be given to articles/art that relate the theme/subject of their work to journalism/media or popular/mass opinion. Selected articles will be published in the Guerrillera/os de La Pluma. Issues of “La Pluma” are distributed widely (political actions/events, colleges, libraries, and conferences) and are posted online (Internet). Literally thousands of people read the journal.

CRITERIA FOR ARTICLES:

(1) Articles must be between 3 and 5 pages (no longer please), typed and doubled space (Fonts 10 or 12 points). If you submit a research type working paper, when quoting, or referring to data, use footnotes or endnotes and a bibliography for documentation purposes.
