Members of AATSEEL
and scholars based outside North America are invited to propose and
contribute reviews of recent publications (1994 to present) to this page.
Books on Slavic and East European cultures, languages, linguistics and
literatures are eligible for review. The formal guidelines are the same as
for reviews in SEEJ
(The Slavic and East European Journal).
Electronic publication is guaranteed to be swift and easily purged of any
typographical errors. As the page begins we can't offer free copies of
books from publishers, but if the page proves successful the situation
should change. If you might be interested in reviewing for this page in
future, please send your coordinates and areas of interest/expertise to the
book review page editor, Sibelan
Forrester.
Graduate students in the field are especially encouraged to contribute
reviews, particularly if they are writing dissertations. Because
publication in this format is almost instant, it supplies both a quick line
on the resume and a painless way to test the waters of electronic
publishing.
Please pass this invitation along to graduate students you know, and to
colleagues who may not yet be convinced of the virtues of electronic
browsing.
