About the Series

This series is published in cooperation with the ASAA to support and promote outstanding scholarship in the humanities, arts, and social sciences on South Asia, here widely understood as work emerging from or dealing with Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, the Indian Ocean region, and comparative work on South Asia and its diasporas with and in other countries. The series publishes excellent, innovative research across a wide range of disciplines including history, politics and political economy, anthropology, geography, literature, sociology and social sciences, the fields of cultural studies, communication studies, security and surveillance studies, studies of religion and ethnicity, and women, gender, and sexuality studies. Interdisciplinary and comparative research is encouraged, and the Editor is also interested in work that stretches the interstices of area studies, identity studies, and technology studies in/ of South Asia into the 21st century.

Works in the series are published simultaneously in UK/ US and India editions, as well as in e-book format. Publications include single-authored monographs and edited volumes by authors based anywhere in the world.
