Submissions to our edited book may be creative non-fiction, personal essays; poetry; and all types of artwork. The only rule is that the work has to be yours and has to be original. By original we mean that the work you submit to us must be unpublished and not under consideration by another publication or media source. Work submitted should demonstrate an attempt to examine how you see and experience whiteness in your life, and/or culture, community, city, town, nation. Some ideas you might consider in generating your piece: Discuss or show a time when whiteness kept you silent or made you holla back at the world!? Show or tell us how whiteness has marked you in some way. Identify a time when you remember being taught (in spoken or unspoken ways) cultural values and social norms that you would consider a part of whiteness. Allow us to see what happened and why you think you were being taught these norms and values? Who and what continue to teach you the practices of whiteness? Describe a time when you witnessed someone close to you benefiting from whiteness and what those benefits looked like and felt like in your life? What did they mean in the larger context of your life? What is the cost of whiteness to you? What are its limitations? What do you love about the cultural values and social norms of whiteness and what is difficult about those values and norms for you? Describe a time when you complied with the norms and values of whiteness, how you felt about doing so, and why you conformed? What does whiteness sound like to you; what does it feel like, look like, or smell like? If you could change whiteness, how would you alter it and why? If whiteness could talk, what would it say? In 100 years, what will whiteness be if anything? *SUBMIT WORK TO LISA ARRASTIA at <[email protected]>.* If you need help thinking about what to write, create, and/or you want to discuss and get help refining your ideas before you make a formal submission, *email Lisa* at <[email protected]>. Well notify you of our decision as soon as we can. Note that all submissions not accepted for the book will be included on a web site, which will accompany the publication of the book. We look forward to seeing your work!
