The Association for Asian Studies announces a new scholarly book series—"Asia Past and Present: New Research from AAS"—to be published under the Association’s own imprint.
This series succeeds a distinguished and successful predecessor, "AAS Monographs and Occasional Papers," which brought out fifty-nine titles between 1951 and 2000. The new enterprise will be overseen by the AAS Editorial Board and the Series Editor, Martha Ann Selby, professor of Asian Studies at the University of Texas, Austin.
AAS expects to publish 2–3 books a year, each of them fully refereed and selected on the basis of exemplary, original, and enduring scholarship. Although submissions in all areas of Asian studies are welcome, AAS particularly hopes to support work in emerging or under-represented fields, such as South Asia, premodern Asia, language and literature, art history, and literary criticism. In addition to monographs, translations, essay collections, and other forms of scholarly research will be considered.
Authors interested in publishing in this new series should first consult the "Author Guidelines" and then e-mail excerpts of their manuscript (10,000–15,000 words, including a full Table of Contents and a representative sample chapter) along with a completed "Author Questionnaire" to Jonathan Wilson, AAS Publications Manager at jwilson@aasianst.org.
Authors must be current members of AAS.
If, after initial evaluation by the series editor, your manuscript is selected to be sent for review, you must at that time be prepared to provide a complete manuscript. Only complete manuscripts will be reviewed. Completed manuscripts should adhere to the "Author Guidelines."
For further information, please contact the Series Editor, Martha Ann Selby, ms@uts.cc.utexas.edu or AAS Publications Manager, Jonathan Wilson, jwilson@aasianst.org.
