12th October 2006, Cambridge, England, UK & New York, USA

Journal of the Society for American Music, published by Cambridge 
University Press, in association with the Society for American 
Music

Cambridge University Press is delighted to announce that from 
2007 we will publish the official journal of the Society for 
American Music. Cambridge already has a strong track record in 
music journals publishing, offering nine academic journals 
ranging from the Cambridge Opera Journal, Early Music History and 
Popular Music.  Formerly called American Music, the Society's new 
official scholarly journal will be called the Journal of the 
Society for American Music. Members of the Society will receive 
the new journal as part of their annual subscription, beginning 
in 2007 with Volume One. Each volume will comprise four issues.

The mission of the Society for American Music is to stimulate the 
appreciation, performance, creation and study of American music 
in all its diversity, and the full range of activities and 
institutions associated with that music. "America" is understood 
to embrace North America, including Central America and the 
Caribbean, and aspects of its cultures everywhere in the world. 
The Journal of the Society for American Music will deal with all 
aspects of music in the Americas and also American music across 
all appropriate genres, history and styles. The journal will 
examine important areas surrounding music such as race, 
ethnicity, gender, media, sexuality and cultural hierarchy.

Michael Broyles, President of the Society said, "With a new 
publisher, we anticipate increased flexibility in the size and 
design of the journal, a higher international profile, and 
enhanced use of digital technology.  In essence we believe this 
move will allow us to produce a journal that will even better 
serve the scholarly community and the field of American music."

Geoff Nuttall, Editorial Director of Cambridge Journals said, 
"The Press?s commitment to music publishing and the community 
more widely, as well as our strengths as a journals publisher 
with a state-of-the-art online platform should lead to a 
flourishing relationship with the Society and an exciting new 
journal for the field."
