  • Ethnicity and Empire 
  • War and Popular Memory
  • Gender and Social Change 
  • Law and Society
  • New and Established Religions 
  • Cinema, Television and Visual Culture
  • Arts and Cultures 
  • Domestic Politics & International Affairs

We welcome proposals for new books in the series.
