<\/strong><\/p>\nA call for submissions of book chapters is out for a collection of essays to be edited by Dr. Celucien L. Joseph:\u00a0<\/strong>Between Two Worlds: Jean Price-Mars, Haiti, and Africa<\/strong><\/em>. The deadline for submissions is February 29, 2016.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nDescription: Jean Price-Mars<\/strong>\u00a0(1876 \u2013 1969), Haitian physician, ethnographer, diplomat, educator, historian, politician, was a towering intellectual in Haitian history and cultural studies, and a Pan Africanist who called to reevaluate the contributions of Africa in universal civilizations and to revalorize African retentions and cultural practices in the Black diaspora, especially on Haitian soil. Through his writings, Price-Mars, whom Leopold Sedar Senghor called \u201cthe Father of Negritude,\u201d sought to establish connecting links between Africa and the Black Diaspora, and the shared history and struggle between people of African descent in the Diaspora.<\/span><\/p>\nFor many scholars, Price-Mars is the father of Haitian ethnology and Dean of Haitian Studies in the twentieth-century, and arguably, the most influential Haitian thinker that has graced the \u201cBlack Republic\u201d since the death of Joseph Auguste Ant\u00e9nor Firmin in 1911. In Haitian thought, Price-Mars has exercised an enduring intellectual and ideological influence on the young Haitian intellectuals and writers of the generation of the \u00a0American Occupation in Haiti (1915-1934) and the post-Occupation culture from the 1930s to 1970s. He is especially known for launching a cultural nationalism and an anti-imperial movement against the brutal American military forces in Haiti.<\/span><\/p>\nThe writings of Price-Mars were instrumental in challenging the Haitian intellectual of his leadership role in the Haitian society, and in promoting national consciousness and unity among Haitians of all social classes and against their American oppressor. Comparatively, his work was a catalyst in the process of shaping and reshaping Haitian cultural identity and reconsidering the viability of the Afro-Haitian faith of Vodou as religion among the so-called World religions. His thought anticipated what is known today as postcolonialism and decolonization.<\/span><\/p>\nMoreover, scholars have also identified Price-Mars as the Francophone counterpart of W.E.B. Du Bois for his activism, scholarly rigor, leadership efficiency, and his unremitting efforts to challenge Western racial history, ideology, and white supremacy in the modern world. Unapologetically, Price-Mars challenged the doctrine of white supremacy and the ideological construction of Western history by demonstrating the equality and dignity of the races and all people, and their achievements in the human historical narrative. As Du Bois, he was a transdisciplinary scholar, boundary-crosser, and cross-cultural theorist; in an unorthodox way, he had brought in conversation various disciplines including anthropology, ethnography, geography, sociology, history, religion, philosophy, race theory, and literature to study the human condition and the most pressing issues facing the nations and peoples of the world, as well as the possible implications they may bear upon us in the postcolonial moment.<\/span><\/p>\nBetween Two Worlds: Jean Price-Mars, Haiti, and Africa<\/em>\u00a0is a special volume on Jean Price-Mars that reassesses the importance of his thought and legacy, and the implications of his ideas in the twenty-first century\u2019s culture of political correctness, the continuing challenge of race and racism, and imperial hegemony in the modern world. Price-Mars\u2019 thought is also significant for the renewed scholarly interests in Haiti and Haitian Studies in North America, and the meaning of contemporary Africa in the world today. \u00a0This volume explores various dimensions in Price-Mars\u2019 thought and his role as medical doctor, historian, anthropologist, cultural critic, public intellectual, politician, pan-Africanist, and humanist.<\/span><\/p>\nHence, the goal of this book is fourfold: 1) The book will explore the contributions of Price-Mars to Haitian history, thought, culture, literature, politics, education, health, etc., 2) This volume will investigate the complex relationships between Haiti and the Dominican Republic in Price-Mars\u2019 historical writings, 3) It studies Price-Mars\u2019 engagement with Western history and the problem of the \u201cracist narrative,\u201d and 4) Finally, the book will highlight Price-Mars\u2019 contributions to Postcolonialism, Africana Studies, and Pan-Africanism.<\/span><\/p>\nIf you would like to contribute a book chapter to this important volume, along with your CV, please submit a 300 word abstract by Monday, February 29, 2016, to Dr. Celucien Joseph @\u00a0celucienjoseph@gmail.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nSuccessful applicants will be notified of acceptance in the first week of April, 2016. \u00a0We are looking for original and unpublished essays for this book.\u00a0Translations of Price-Mars\u2019 works in the English language are also welcome.
