Posted by: Serguei Alex. Oushakine <[log in to unmask]>
Inner Asia is an interdisciplinary, refereed journal, with emphasis
on the social sciences, humanities and cultural studies. It is
committed to supporting publication of original research at the
highest academic standards. Articles of several kinds are welcomed:
those introducing new materials, those engaging with issues of
current debate, those with a critical or theoretical focus, shorter
pieces of an ethnographic kind, and book reviews. We welcome
submissions from scholars of all countries and especially those whose
own background lies in Inner Asia. Subject of particular interest to
the journal are: cultural change, the rise of political and economic
nationalism, indigenous critiques of colonial paradigms, the
introduction of markets and changing concepts of property, the
re-emergence of religions, the negotiation of ethnicity and identity,
urbanisation and social geography, history of thoughts and current
intellectual debates, changes in languages and epistemology,
environmental adaptations and conservation, and history and
historiography in the socialist and post-socialist periods.
