Routledge / Asian Studies Association of Australia (ASAA) South Asian Series

This Routledge series is published in cooperation with the ASAA to promote outstanding work and innovative scholarship in the humanities, arts, and social sciences on South Asia, here understood to be work emerging from or dealing with Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and the Indo-Pacific region. The series publishes excellent research on the countries, peoples, politics, literatures, and cultures of South Asia across a wide range of disciplines including history, politics and political economy, anthropology, geography, literature, sociology and the fields of cultural studies, communication studies, studies of religion and ethnicity, and women, gender, and sexuality studies, among others. We encourage interdisciplinary and comparative research, and the Co-Editors are also interested in unpublished manuscripts that stretch the interstices of area studies, identity studies, and technology studies in/ of South Asia into the 21st century.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.

The series welcomes new submissions!
