The debut issue features articles about globalization and women; teaching about minority women; the film "Mississippi Masala"; Dominican ideas about beauty; and other topics. Poetry is also included. The editorial board, in an introduction to the debut issue, notes that "feminist scholarship by and about women of color has a relatively brief history in the academy." But the board adds, "No area of study has so profoundly changed the scope and content of feminist scholarship in the past decade as the exploration of race and ethnicity in women's scholarship." The creation of the new journal, the editors write, "marks the recognition that no matter what theoretical or disciplinary paradigms bring feminist scholars to this historical moment of knowledge production and political action, and whether our work is in the U.S. or elsewhere, the post-colonial and the neocolonial collide and intersect in complex ways." Exploration of these issues, the editors hope, "will redefine not only the field of women's studies, but also the future directions of the humanities and social sciences." The articles are not online, but information about the journal may be found at http://www.smith.edu/meridians/ __________________________ Louisa A.
