Isaacs edits spring 09 Third World journal

              AMERICUS—Harold Isaacs, Ph.D., professor emeritus of history at Georgia Southwestern State University, has edited “Voices of the Subaltern: Identities, Hierarchies and Social Struggles in a Globalizing Age,” the Spring 2009 issue of the “Journal of Third World Studies” (JTWS), published by the Association of Third World Studies (ATWS).

The 245-page volume contains selected papers presented at the 26^th annual meeting of ATWS in Lancaster, Pa. Oct. 26-28, 2008, and additional manuscripts, book reviews and book review essays approved for publication by the JTWS Board of Editors. The board is composed of scholars who are nationally and internationally recognized experts in their respective fields.

Since 1984, when the bi-annual scholarly periodical was founded by Isaacs, ATWS has published 51 issues of JTWS for a worldwide readership of scholars, practitioners in the area of Third World development, U.S. and foreign government officials and employees of non-governmental organizations. Hardcopy subscriptions are sent to 51 countries, and JTWS is accessible on the Internet.

The Fall 2009 issue of JTWS will focus on “Third World Problems and Issues: Past and Present,” the theme of the 2008-09 GSW Third World in Perspective Program Seminar Series.
