Presentation and submission guidelines

Presentation of the Journal

New World, New Worlds is a journal dedicated to the study of the Americas in the fields of history and social sciences. It favors comparative and connected perspectives from pre-history to the present. Subjects discussed by the journal range from the links between mestizo studies (social and cultural) and globalization since the early modern era; colonial/modern history; migration; political history and the role of the State; the history of representations and sensibilities; cultural transfers and the circulation of knowledge and the anthropology of contemporary societies. The journal is financed by the National Institute for Human and Social Sciences of the CNRS. It was first published by the Centre de recherche sur les mondes américains and is now edited by the French research unit Mondes américains (UMR 8168 – CNRS/EHESS).

The journal welcomes original articles by scholarly specialists of the Americas. The publication of New World, New Worlds is frequently updated – four times a year – and can therefore follow scientific production in this field in real time, thanks to its reviews and historiographic essays section. You can follow us on Facebook, Intagram and Twitter/X accounts.

It also hosts a wealth of material relating to the scientific heritage of the study of the Americas which forms part of the growing field of the “digital humanities”. Contributions are published in four languages: Spanish, French, Portuguese and English.

Current Issues

This section also publishes original research articles on history and the social sciences on Latin America and the Iberian world in the 20th and 21st centuries. This section is focused on tackling contemporary issues and may thus include anthropological and sociological analyses as well as the history of the recent past.

Bibliographic essays will cover several works (at least one of which published within the last 5 years).

Reviews and essays should include five keywords in the journal’s four languages of publication, without capital letters and separated by commas, and must not exceed 15,000 characters (including spaces and footnotes). The image of the cover of each publication reviewed should be attached separately, with a good definition in jpg, png or tiff format.

The book title of the reviewed book should be as follows:
Juan Carlos Garavaglia, Les hommes de la Pampa. Une histoire agraire de la campagne de Buenos Aires (1700-1830), Éd. Ehess et Msh, París, 2000, 465 p.

Reviews and essays may include footnotes and references, but many not include subtitles.

Bibliography programs (EndNote, Zotero, etc.) may not be used, nor should footnotes appear in titles or subtitles. Biographical references of the author of the review should appear on a separate line.

For text, citations, notes and references, the editorial guidelines of the journal should be followed.

Proposing a Special Issue

In order to evaluate the interest of publishing a special issue, the editorial board requires a short presentation of the theme proposed (1 or 2 pages maximum) which clearly states the main lines of analysis. The coordinators must in addition provide a list of the authors’ names and institutions, as well as the title and a summary of the proposed articles. The special issue’s overview will be shared with the peer reviewers of each article. The authors’ names should therefore not be mentioned in the overview, in order to preserve the anonymity of the evaluation.

Specials issues will include a maximum of 8 articles.

Submissions which do not respect these norms will not be accepted by the journal.
