The University Press of Colorado is accepting manuscripts for publication in our Global Colonialism series, a collection of nonfiction books that investigate the effects of colonialism globally on both colonizers and the colonized. Books in the series will be selected from across a variety of fields, including archaeology, anthropology, ethnohistory, and history.

Conquest and colonization have characterized the human experience from the time of the emergence of state-level societies. We invite global case studies, from the earliest known examples in antiquity to the current day, as well as more synthetic works that study the ties between areas connected by colonialism. Books in this series should study colonial processes at a local level, while also examining how these processes connect to larger spheres and themes.

All proposals for the this series should follow the press submission guidelines, and submission will be evaluated by the press acquisitions staff, the series editors and/or editorial board, as well as outside experts.

Out of Sync: Demographic and Curricular Shifts in Education

Much has been written and said about the increasing diversity of the United States in recent decades, with minorities expected to become the majority in the country by 2044 (and children expected to be the majority by 2020). These changes have already extended to the school system, with fall 2014 marking the first time that minority schoolchildren are collectively the majority in the K–12 system. Despite these demographic shifts, the literacy curriculum in K–12 schools remains steeped in the Western Anglo canon.
