Thank you for considering submitting a review to the American Indian Culture and Research Journal. Please note that we accept reviews of books, films, and art exhibitions. Although reviews may cover more than one work, no single review should exceed 1,100 words.

The books for which we are currently seeking reviews are listed below. We will update these on an ongoing basis, approximately every other month.

We suggest you reach out to us to inquire if certain titles are still open for reviews, or if we are open to other books not listed here (including your own), or to confirm if we are open to reviews of particular films or exhibits. Please keep in mind that reviews should be published within two years of a publication, exhibit opening, or film release.  

Detailed style guidelines for our reviews can be found here.

Instructions for uploading your reviews can be found here.
