The Series Editors, Pamela J. Stewart and Andrew Strathern, would be pleased to receive prospectuses from authors for the following Series:

 

Anthropology and Cultural History in Asia and the Indo-Pacific

 

http://www.ashgate.com/subject_area/sociology_ethnic/anthropology_series.htm

 

This series offers a fresh and unique perspective on Asian Anthropology that joins Asian studies with the wider Indo-Pacific region. The inclusion of the Indo-Pacific region in this Series acknowledges the increasing impact of transnational flows of ideas and practices across geographical borders, especially within Asia and the Indo-Pacific region. It also widens the net for including good ethnographically and historically grounded books in the arenas of local-global relations, continuity and change, and emerging analytical issues dealing with topics such as kinship, politics, conflict, ritual and other contemporary themes in this region of the world. The series publishes scholarly single-authored or collaborative texts or thematically organized sets of essays that will appeal to a multidisciplinary range of readers.
