Sistah Vegan: Black Women on the Social Implications of Veganism
From Vegan Momma's Blog, I am SO going to submit to this:
“Sistah Vegan: Black Women on the Social Implications of Veganism.”
Sistah Vegan Anthology Submission Guidelines:
Deadline: June 1, 2006
I am searching for Black identified sistahs that practice Veganism to share their stores in an anthology I would like to put together. I am looking for poetry, narratives, creative stories or critical essays that link veganism to ending human oppression and ecological devastation. Topics and questions to consider can include but are not limited to:
Choosing Veganism and organic fair trade consumption because of it’s links to ecological harmony.
Realizing that Veganism connected you to other holistic practices that enhanced your health and managed life-long ailments.
Connecting a memory of sexual harassment and linking it to theories of Veganism.
The pivotal moment you realized that your dietary habits potentially supported the very types of oppression you were struggling against.
Do you have any funny yet poignant stories about your friends and family’s reactions to your conversion to Veganism?
Did you grow up as a vegan?
Did you ever have to defend your veganism at you job and feel constantly offended by people who just didn’t respect it?
All stories, critical analysis, poetry, and insights all welcome for submission, along with other creative formats you feel will allow your voice to be heard. If possible, stories and essays should be no more than 15 pp double spaced with 1″
Margins. ***Please provide a short bio (No more than 1/2 page long) and contact info. Deadline is August 1, 2006. Thanks and I look forward to connecting with my Vegan Sistahs through your writing. Please send as an attachment (MicrosoftWord or Appleworks) to harper2@fas.harvard.edu or you can postal mail to me. Email me for the mailing address.
