CALL FOR BOOK-LENGTH MANUSCRIPTS ON PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN HISTORY AND CULTLURE
The Pennsylvania German History and Culture Series co-published by the
Pennsylvania State University Press and the Pennsylvania German Society seeks
book proposals and book-length manuscripts. The series is a continuation
of the
Society's renowned annual volumes on Pennsylvania German heritage and
includes
coverage of such topics as history, religion, folklore, material and visual
culture, and society of the diaspora of the Palatine Germans into the New
World
from the seventeenth century to the present. To date, ten volumes have been
published in the series:
* Architecture and Artifacts of the Pennsylvania Germans by Cynthia
G. Falk
* Heart Language by Susan Colestock Hill
* Foreigners in Their Own Land by Steven M. Nolt
* Horse-and-Buggy Mennonites by Donald B. Kraybill and James P. Hurd
* Pennsylvania German Broadside, The by Don Yoder
* Plain Women by Margaret C. Reynolds, Edited with a Foreword by Simon J.
Bronner
* Powwowing among the Pennsylvania Dutch by David W. Kriebel
* To the Latest Posterity by Corinne and Russell Earnest
* Voices of the Turtledoves by Jeff Bach
* Writing the Amish by David L. Weaver-Zercher, ed.
The editor is especially interested in works that interpret the
Pennsylvania-German experience in areas outside of Pennsylvania, illustrated
volumes on material and visual culture, contemporary ethnography and cultural
history of Pennsylvania German customs and arts, the occupational and
religious
diversity of the Pennsylvania Germans, cultural tourism and popular
culture of
and about Pennsylvania Germans, and the transnational experience of settlers
and their transformation into "Pennsylvania Dutch."
