Sean Kingston Publishing, in partnership with the Anthropology of the Middle East and Central Eurasia (AMCE) Network of the European Association of Social Anthropologists (link), is delighted to announce the launch of a major new book series: The Anthropology of Persianate Societies.

The Anthropology of Persianate Societies book series will be published under the main editorial direction of Dr Pedram Khosronejad, of the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of St Andrews, with an editorial board comprising Prof. L. Beck, Prof. W.O. Beeman, Dr. I. Flaskerud, Prof. B. Grant, Prof. P. C. Salzman and Prof. F. Shirazi.

The book series aims to publish ground-breaking work written by new and established academics from a wide range of disciplines including anthropology, sociology, folklore, religion and material culture. The series will provide a range of key introductory and advanced texts that map out different topics of contemporary Persianate societies, their inhabitants and their culture.

In addition to the anthropological research monographs, reference works, proceedings of conferences and international workshops, and Ph.D. dissertations, The Anthropology of Persianate Societies series will publish significant English, French and Persian text editions of important manuscripts.

Proposals and expressions of interest should be sent to Dr Pedram Khosronejad (pk18@st-andrews.ac.uk) in the first instance.
