reviews

Enculturation accepts unsolicited reviews for books, CDs, films, websites, media events, and conferences. Reviews should be approximately 1000-2000 words. We also have a list of books available for review. To submit a review, post it in our conference queue (see submissions or FAQs under "About"). To request a book from the list of books available, email bhawk [at] gmu [dot] edu, identify the book, and include a mailing address. Once your review has been peer reviewed, the page will be activated and listed below. Once a new table of contents is posted, it will be listed under an issue as well.
