Abstract
... we create scholarship not simply for ourselves but for the unseen faces of people who depend on the unwavering commitment of scholars who take up justice work. We know that the ongoing work to rescue and reclaim the history and lives of black women [and men] is important and that it is our duty ... to collect and share their life and experiences “for the future of our children... if necessary, bone by bone.”—Karsonya Wise Whitehead and Conra D. Gist1
…我们创造学术不仅是为了我们自己,也是为了那些看不见的人,他们依赖于从事司法工作的学者们坚定不移的承诺。我们知道,正在进行的拯救和恢复黑人女性和男性的历史和生活的工作很重要,这是我们的责任……收集和分享他们的生活和经历,“为了我们孩子的未来……”如有必要,一根一根的。——karsonya Wise Whitehead和Conra D. gis1
期刊介绍:
a /b: Auto/Biography Studies enjoys an international reputation for publishing the highest level of peer-reviewed scholarship in the fields of autobiography, biography, life narrative, and identity studies. a/b draws from a diverse community of global scholars to publish essays that further the scholarly discourse on historic and contemporary auto/biographical narratives. For over thirty years, the journal has pushed ongoing conversations in the field in new directions and charted an innovative path into interdisciplinary and multimodal narrative analysis. The journal accepts submissions of scholarly essays, review essays, and book reviews of critical and theoretical texts as well as proposals for special issues and essay clusters. Submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to independent, anonymous peer review.
