**Update, we are greatful for the interest in this opportunity and have now updated the list of books below to those which remain and for which we are still seeking reviewers**

The Associate Editors of the Journal of American Studies are looking for book reviews from doctoral candidates and early career researchers with expertise in any aspect of American Studies and its related sub-disciplines. The Associate Editors actively seek either reviews of either a single title (of between 500-1000 words) or a review essay on up to three titles (of between 1500-3000 words). Doctoral candidates are welcome to review at any stage of their studies, and doctoral candidates and early career researchers from BAME backgrounds are especially encouraged to contact the Associate Editors at jasassociateeditors@baas.ac.uk to register their interest and/or request specific titles for review.

We also have a number of volumes we are hoping to be reviewed as soon as possible. Please contact us if you wish to review any of these texts. We will allocate these volumes to reviewers on a first come, first served basis.
