Dear Friends and Authors,

I recently launched two new book series at Rowman & Littlefied that explore macro and micro approaches to social change. These are a series on "World Social Change," which includes but is by no means limited to a strong Asia focus, and "Asian Voices." A brief description of their scope, and illustrations of recent and forthcoming titles, follows.

I hope that this information will be of interest to you, and I would welcome proposals from you concerning your own prospective books.

 

World Social Change

This series examines large-scale, long-term social change in the modern world. Focusing especially on the intersection of political economy, conflict, and social movements, authors in the series will utilize both micro- and macro-approaches. Books will explore multiple challenges and transformations facing national, regional, and global structures, hierarchies of inequality, and dominant social and cultural values.

 

New and forthcoming titles:

1. Anita Chan, Ben Kerkvliet and Jonathan Unger, eds. Transforming Asian Socialism. China and Vietnam Compared.* (published)

2. Feng Chongyi and David Goodman, eds., North China at War.* (published)

3. Caglar Keyder, ed., Istanbul . The Making of a Global City.* (published)

Asian Voices

Introducing compelling and rarely heard voices, this series will center on biography, autobiography, memoir, and reportage by and about Asian and Pacific peoples. Readers will find contemporary women and men, ethnic minorities, farmers and fisherfolk, workers, migrants, the new rich and the dispossessed, writers, artists, intellectuals, politicians and prophets, iconoclasts, and activists. These are individuals who are shaping and/or resisting the outcomes of intense social change-local, regional, and global. The humanity and diversity of these distinctive voices and experiences will appeal to students and scholars with interests ranging from area studies to gender, the environment, human rights, and social movements.
