ProudFlesh: New Afrikan Journal of Culture, Politics, and Consciousness is seeking submission for a Special Edition on Mike Brown and Ferguson. ( ProudFlesh: New Afrikan Journal of Culture, Politics and Consciousness is a peer-reviewed journal, a terrain for promoting exchange, thinking, for igniting the common impulse to create, to perform, to interrogate in spite of the odds fueled by repression and rootlessness.)

- race and criminalization, especially of Black youth;
- the role of police/policing in the repression of communities of color, including escalating militarization; and
- resistance, protest and emergent movement, with special consideration of the role of social media in mobilization.
Submissions may include:
- Scholarly works,
- Blog posts
- Creative works such as poetry art and music
Guest Editors for this Special Edition are Nancy A. Heitzeg, Ph.D., Professor of Sociology and Critical Studies of Race and Ethnicity, St. Catherine University naheitzeg@stkate.edu and Rose M. Brewer, Ph.D. Professor of African American & African Studies, University of Minnesota brewe001@umn.edu
