I read about this project a while ago, and am psyched that it’s still going forward. So, get submittin’!
What the Hell is a Radical Woman of Color?
Real Stories by Radical Women of Color and Allies
An Anthology
Contact: info@adelenieves.com
Deadline: Wednesday, November 9, 2008 (see the editor’s comment)
Format: There is no format; the piece can be in the form of a short story, a personal experience, an essay, a poem, a collection of thoughts, photography, art, or a collaborative work. 4000 words maximum.
Topic Ideas:
* What does being a Radical Woman of Color mean to you? (i.e. community, race, gender, motherhood, activism, silencing, diversity/intersectionality, movement building, etc.)
* How would you devise new strategies for cross-cultural dialogue, theorizing, and alliance-building?
* What does it mean to be an ally?
Global perspectives are welcome. Topic suggestions are welcome.
Payment/Project Agreement below the cut.
Since we are now in the process looking for a publisher, we still don’t have an exact rate of payment for contributors. Although, we will be negotiating a payment of $25-$125 per piece.
A handwritten hard copy of the project agreement must be mailed before submission of final work. Once we make our final decisions, we will fill in our portion of the project agreement and send them back to contributors for their records. Contributors will be contacted with complete details once the publishing agreement is reached.
Please feel free to e-mail us with further questions or need for clarification. We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Tera:
Thank you for posting the call. The deadline is now Wednesday, November 19.
Have a great weekend,

Hey Tera, just wondering if you were OK, as you haven’t blogged in over a month. Hope you have just been busy, and haven’t given up blogging, cos i really appreciate your writing…
(also, have you seen the Spanish disability-themed horror-comedy Accion Mutante? Would be really interested in your thoughts on it…)
Hi, Shiva!
I haven’t given up blogging–I’ve just been busy, and I hope I can find a schedule where I can write all the things I’d like to write.
Actually, I didn’t know about Accion Mutante. It *definitely* sounds interesting. (I’ve been meaning to see El Dia de la Bestia, too).
Just as a warning, it contains quite a lot of casual misogyny. It’s also… probably less of a disability film per se than it’s made out to be by the fairly little info about it on the internet. For its general style, imagine (if you can) a script from an episode of South Park, but done in live action with “realistic” gore and violence, with large chunks of Terry Gilliam and 2000AD mixed in… definitely not for everyone…
Haven’t seen any of Iglesia’s other films, so i have no idea if it’s typical of him…
Good to know you have more posts coming 🙂 I too have been a lot busier than i have wanted to be recently, but got plans for a few more substantial posts coming up…
