AlterNative

AlterNative is announcing a general call for papers to be published in 2010.

AlterNative: An International Journal of Indigenous Peoples is a multidisciplinary peer-review journal. It aims to present Indigenous worldviews from native Indigenous perspectives. It is dedicated to the analysis and dissemination of native Indigenous knowledge that uniquely belongs to cultural, traditional, tribal and aboriginal peoples as well as first nations, from around the world.

AlterNative Dialogue
Dedicated to the advancement of critical dialogue by, with and for native Indigenous peoples across the globe

Submissions responding to this general call for papers should relate to one or more of themes of the journal—origins, place, peoples, community, culture, traditional and oral history, heritage, colonialism, power, intervention, development and self-determination.

Submission and Deadline Details

AlterNative primarily accepts substantive articles (5000–7000 words) that address a particular indigenous topic/theme. Also, short timely commentaries (2000–3500 words) that address critical issues and reviews of indigenous books and edited volumes are also accepted.

Author guidelines, including format and referencing styles, for submitting articles, commentaries and book reviews can be found on the AlterNative website.

AlterNative particularly encourages indigenous scholars to contribute submissions. Specialists and practitioners working on indigenous issues are also welcome.

We welcome submissions throughout the year. Please upload your paper through the online form, available by clicking 'Submit Artilce' on the left-hand navigation.
