CR: The New Centennial Review is devoted to comparative studies of the Americas that suggest possibilities for a different future. CR recognizes that the language of the Americas is translation, and that questions of translation, dialogue, and border crossings (linguistic, cultural, national, and the like) are necessary for rethinking the foundations and limits of the Americas. Journal articles address philosophically inflected interventions, provocations, and insurgencies that question the existing configuration of the Americas, as well as global and theoretical work with implications for the hemisphere.

CR is committed to interdisciplinarity and encourages work that goes beyond a simple performance of the strategies of various disciplines and interdisciplines, and that therefore interrogates them.

CR is a refereed journal. We take approximately two to three months to read and comment on unsolicited manuscripts.

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION & SUBMISSION
