RAZA LIBERATION THROUGH CRITICAL PEDAGOGY, CHICANO/RAZA STUDIES, ACADEMIC FREEDOM, AND DEMOCRATIC SCHOOLING!
A CALL FOR ARTICLES:
The Raza Press and Media Association (RPMA) is the only national group of progressive Raza journalists working towards winning justice, peace, and freedom for all Mexicano-Latinos (Raza). We meet on a regular basis, have an organizational structure, principles of unity, objectives, and we consistently published a journal, Guerrillera/os de la Pluma.
In response to the continuing and growing assaults on our communities by the various U.S. intellectual institutions (media, academicians, authors, think tanks, etc.), the RPMA is making a call to Raza active in the field of media (journalism, radio, video/film, popular art, spoken word, etc.) to submit articles related to the “Raza Press, Media, And Popular Expression” for publication in the Spring 2010 issue of our journal.
The Spring 2010 of issue of the Guerrillera/os de La Pluma will focus on the question/theme of EDUCATION. Articles/art work must address, for example, the question of cut backs, privatization of education, attacks on academic freedom, critical pedagogy, or Raza/Chicano Studies, etc. –from a PROGRESSIVE or REVOLUTIONARY Raza perspective. Priority will be given to articles/art that relate the theme/subject of their work to journalism/media or popular/mass opinion. Selected articles will be published in the Guerrillera/os de La Pluma. Issues of “La Pluma” are distributed widely (political actions/events, colleges, libraries, and conferences) and are posted online (Internet). Literally thousands of people read the journal.
CRITERIA FOR ARTICLES:
