Citations and references
All submissions should document cited material
by using parenthetical references in the text
(author-date system), with minimal endnotes.
Notes, references, and parenthetical citations
should follow the style specified in the Chicago
Manual of Style. Abbreviations like ed. and
trans. are not included in the parenthetical
listing. Specific page(s) follow the year of
publication, preceded by a comma (Ahmed 1992,
152). Other examples are: (Lorber and Farrell,
1991) for dual authorship /editorship); (McFarlane
et al, 1991) for more than three authors; (Appadurai,
1986a, 1986b) for two works by the same author
in a single year. Endnotes are used for material
commenting on or adding to the text and should
be used instead of parenthetical citations for
references to more than three works, manuscript/archival
sources, unpublished interviews, and legal cases.
Endnotes are placed at the conclusion of the
article and before the references.
Full references must be given in the reference
list to all works cited in the article, including
citations in endnotes. List works alphabetically
by author and, under author, by year of publication.
References not cited in the text will be removed
from the reference list. Please consult a recent
copy of the Chicago Manual of Style for proper
manuscript form and citations.
