American Review of Canadian Studies

American Review of Canadian Studies (ARCS) is a refereed, multidisciplinary, quarterly journal. Published since 1971 by the Association for Canadian Studies in the United States (ACSUS), American Review of Canadian Studies examines Canada and the Canadian point of view from an American perspective. Its articles - both disciplinary and interdisciplinary - explore Canada’s arts, cultures, economics, politics, history, society, and environment, recognizing Canada’s distinctive position in the world. Most issues also contain reviews of recently published books across that same broad spectrum of topics - reviews that acquaint readers with current scholarship in the field.

The editors invite article submissions in any area of Canadian studies and are receptive to a wide range of methodologies; topical pieces and responses to articles published in previous issues will also be considered. Additionally, the editors commission book reviews as new titles come to their attention. A list of books available for review, updated quarterly, is available on the ACSUS website. Reviewers can contact the journal directly at arcs@wwu.edu.

ACSUS, the journal’s sponsoring organization, is a multidisciplinary association of scholars, professionals, and institutions dedicated to improving understanding of Canada in the United States. Founded in 1971, ACSUS encourages creative and scholarly activity in Canadian studies, facilitates the exchange of ideas among Canadianists worldwide, enhances the teaching of Canada in the U.S., and promotes Canada as an area of inquiry.
