Book proposals are being invited for a new series entitled 'World Heritage
Studies on Multiculturalism and Transnationalism,' to be published by World
Heritage Press. This series aims to examine various aspects of the two
phenomena in a systematic and comparative manner. Examinations should move
clearly beyond the existent parameters and exhibit a certain degree of
interdisciplinarity. The concept of multiculturalism is broadly defined so
as not to be limited to internal US debates but to include global and
historical discussions and examinations of cross-cultural knowledge systems.
Transnationalism is understood as an overarching term for processes of
globalization. Novel perspectives should highlight its epochal significance,
diverse paths of unfolding, or far-reaching cultural ramifications, rather
than be limited to questions of immediate policy and economic expediency.
This series offers a forum in which the two phenomena are subject to
comparative,
systematic and interdisciplianry inquiry. Books within it are expected to
be typified by a rich combination of substantive orientation and theoretical
rigor. Submissions are invited from sociologists, literary critics, cultural
commentators, historians, political scientists, anthropologists, philosophers,
economists, and others. Please send proposals and inquiries to series editor:
