year's MLA is a week from today, Friday, March 15. Please send me proposals

Preference will be given to papers that break new ground or challenge old 
assumptions.

racial issues in works other than the two most commonly examined texts.
Send 300-word abstracts to John Bird by 15 March 2013: [log in to unmask]
