Chapters and other titled parts of a book
Parenthetical citations–reference list style: citing specific types of sources
Part II. Source Citation

In most cases, you should cite the main title of any book that offers a single, continuous argument or narrative, even if you actually use only a section of it. But if you consult only one part of a book that collects independent pieces on several topics, written by one or several authors, you may cite just the one chapter or part most relevant to your research. By doing so, you help readers see how the source fits into your project.

PARTS OF SINGLE-AUTHOR BOOKS. If you cite a titled part of a single-author book, the reference list should include the title of the part first, in roman type without quotation marks, followed by a period. After the designation In, give the book title, followed by the full span of page numbers for that part.

R: Chasteen, John Charles. 2001. Neocolonialism. In Born in blood and fire: A concise history of Latin America, 179—206. New York: W. W. Norton & Company.

If you cite a part with a generic title such as introduction, preface, or afterword, add that term before the title of the book. List the generic title in roman type without quotation marks, and capitalize the first word only. If the part is written by someone other than the main author of the book, give the part author's name first and the book author's name after the title; parenthetical citations mention only the part author's name.

PARTS OF EDITED COLLECTIONS. In a reference list, if you cite part of an edited collection with contributions by multiple authors, first list the part author, the date, and the part title (in roman type without quotation marks). After the designation In, give the book title, the name of the editor, and the full span of page numbers for that part. Parenthetical citations mention only the part author's name.

R: Carr, Anne, and Douglas J. Schuurman. 1996. Religion and feminism: A reformist Christian analysis. In Religion, feminism, and the family, ed. Anne Carr and Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen, 11—32. Louisville, KY: Westminster John Knox Press.

P: (Carr and Schuurman 1996, 13—14)

If you cite two or more contributions to the same edited collection, you may treat them as separate sources, or you may use a space-saving shortened form. In your reference list, provide a full citation for the whole book and shortened citations for each individual part. For the latter, provide the full author's name, the publication date, and the full title of the part; after the designation In, add the shortened name of the book's editor, the publication date, and the full span of page numbers for that part.

R: Angle, Paul M., ed. 1967. Prairie state: Impressions of Illinois, 1673—1967, by travelers and other observers. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.

Keating, William H. 1967. Fort Dearborn and Chicago. In Angle 1967, 84—87.

Lippincott, Sara Clarke. 1967. Chicago. In Angle 1967, 362—70.

If you use this form, your parenthetical citations should refer to the parts only, not to the book as a whole.

WORKS IN ANTHOLOGIES. Cite a short story, poem, essay, or other work published in an anthology in the same way you would a contribution to an edited collection with multiple authors. Give the titles of most works published in anthologies in roman type. An exception is the title of an excerpt from a book-length poem or prose work, which should be italicized (see 22.3.2).

R: Allende, Isabel. 1997. The spirits were willing. In The Oxford book of Latin American essays, ed. Ilan Stavans, 461—67. New York: Oxford University Press.

If the original publication date of a work is important in the context of your paper, include it in brackets before the anthology's publication date in both your reference list and your parenthetical citations.
