book series

The EASA book series is published by Berghahn Books, and has produced over a dozen titles since 2003, generally in both hardcover and paperback. A number of proposals are presently in the process of formulation or review and the following works are in production:

  • Culture Wars: Context, Models and Anthropologists' Accounts (edited by Deborah James, Evelyn Plaice and Christina Toren)
  • Power and Magic in Italy (Thomas Hauschild)

to submit a proposal

The EASA book series seeks to publish monographs and edited collections in English. Works submitted should address worthwhile questions in a cogent, persuasive and fluent way that will attract a substantial readership.

Before submitting a proposal please email the Series Editor, who will advise about the specific material needed for a proposal, and normally will offer informal advice about how a proposal can be strengthened. As well, the Editor can offer advice to those who are not native speakers of English but who want to submit a proposal to the series.

Those seeking to submit proposals should have prepared an extended discussion of the work as a whole, which identifies the projected work’s topic and significance, its analytical or theoretical orientation and its empirical content. Ideally this would mean a draft of the Introduction. In addition, they should have an abstract (about 300 words) of each chapter (for monographs) or contribution (for edited volumes). After reviewing this material, the Series Editor will indicate what further material is needed.
