Subject: Book Series
I would like to draw the attention of members of the network to two
relatively new book series I edit at Westview Press: 1) Social Change in
Global Perspective and 2) Transitions: Asia and Asian America. And
particularly to invite contributions.
Social Change in Global Perspective
Mark Selden, Series Editor, Westview Press
Exploring the relationship between social change and social structures,
this series considers the theory, praxis, promise, and pitfalls of
movements in global and comparative perspective. The historical and
contemporary social movements considered here challenge patterns of
hierarchy and inequality of race, gender, nationality, ethnicity, class,
and culture. The series includes textbooks as well as broadly interpretive
and synthetic works.
TRANSITIONS: ASIA AND ASIAN AMERICA
The Asia/Pacific region stands at a crossroads, riven by the competing
forces of socialism and capitalism, tradition and modernity, nationalism
and globalism. The books in this series explore broad themes of
transition-the human, ecological, and civilizational consequences of
economic development, of political and military conflicts, of populations
in motion, and of social and cultural transformation in Asia and in the
Asian-American experience.
The series is grounded in three general perspectives. DEVELOPMENT AND
SOCIAL CHANGE considers the structuring of economies, polities, and
societies by states, by capital and technology, and by markets-often in
conflict with cultures, communities, and nature. POPULAR MOVEMENTS
considers 20th-century anti-colonial, socialist, and post-socialist
revolutions; continuing struggles for self-determination of nations,
classes, ethnic and religious groups, and women; battles over democratic
rights and processes; and new social movements. Through autobiography,
literature, memoir, and social criticism, ASIAN AND ASIAN-AMERICAN VOICES
will make available in English some of the most compelling writers now
questioning and shaping societies and cultures in Asia and the United
States.
The series includes textbooks, monographs, and works of general interest
that illuminate issues that are essential for a deeper understanding of a
critical region that continues to challenge and contradict Western
assumptions.
