Editorial Policy & Submission Guidelines

CR: The New Centennial Review is devoted to comparative studies of the Americas that suggest possibilities for a different future. CR recognizes that the language of the Americas is translation, and that questions of translation, dialogue, and border crossings (linguistic, cultural, national, and the like) are necessary for rethinking the foundations and limits of the Americas. Journal articles address philosophically inflected interventions, provocations, and insurgencies that question the existing configuration of the Americas, as well as global and theoretical work with implications for the hemisphere.

CR is committed to interdisciplinarity and encourages work that goes beyond a simple performance of the strategies of various disciplines and interdisciplines, and that therefore interrogates them.

CR is a refereed journal. We take approximately two to three months to read and comment on unsolicited manuscripts.

Manuscript Preparation & Submission

After your work has been accepted for publication, please prepare your manuscript for production following the CR style guide and using the Author Submission Checklist.

When submitting an article, please enclose three (3) copies. Manuscripts should be typed, double-spaced, on one side of 8½" × 11" paper, with standard margins on all sides and pages numbered consecutively. Include your name, mailing address, and email address on the first page. Use italics, not underlines, to indicate italics. Endnotes—not footnotes—may be used for explanatory material only and must be numbered consecutively.

When preparing your submission, follow The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th ed., author-date system (chapters 16 and 17). References in text should be cited parenthetically as "(Wilson 1995)" or, if a page number is necessary as in the case of a quotation, "(Wilson 1995, 166)." The form "Wilson(1995) suggests that . . ." is also acceptable.

Images & Derivative Materials: It is the author/researcher's obligation and responsibility to determine and satisfy copyright and/or other use restrictions prior to submitting materials to MSU Press for publication. We cannot publish such materials until clearance is obtained. Citations, permissions, and captions are required upon submission for all images, including those derived from the Internet. All images must be minimum 300 dpi at planned publication size.

We do not accept electronic submission of articles at this time. Unsolicited manuscripts are returned to authors only when accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
