Announcing

The World Readers
A New Series Edited by
Robin Kirk and Orin Starn

Building on the success of the popular Latin America Readers, this new series will provide vivid, thought-provoking introductions to the history, culture, and politics of countries, cities, and regions around the world, including images and carefully selected texts about a specific location, each volume will feature many perspectives, including those of scholars, journalists, activists, novelists, poets, and politicians: historical and contemporary figures, men and women, racial and ethnic minorities, residents providing first-hand accounts and outsiders looking in. Much of the material will be translated into English for the first time. The World Readers are intended for travelers, scholars, and students alike.

The Indonesia Reader
History, Culture, Politics
Tineke Hellwig and Eric Tagliacozzo, editors

“Tineke Hellwig and Eric Tagliacozzo have woven together a variety of observations across time to help gain some insight into the astonishingly varied story of a fascinating nation. From reflections on the role of interoceanic trade, the flow of world religions, and the fight for independence and, ultimately, a just society, the book offers a key corpus of documents to debate and contextualize.”—Michael Laffan, Princeton University

The Alaska Native Reader
History, Culture, Politics
Maria Sháa Tláa Williams, editor

“The predominance of indigenous voices in The Alaska Native Reader will help correct the disgraceful imbalance in the way that the history of Alaska has been recorded and constructed. The reasons for the imbalance lie in the very history that is exposed here.”—Charlotte Townsend-Gault, University of British Columbia

New in The Latin America Readers

The Ecuador Reader
History, Culture, Politics
Carlos de la Torre and Steve Striffler, editors

“The Ecuador Reader is a gateway for understanding the volatile and intriguing history of this complex, multicultural land. From José María Velasco Ibarra’s fiery populism to the politics of a contemporary beauty pageant, the book captures the rich diversity of the country’s past and present. It is a major contribution to the study of the Andean world.”—Catherine M. Conaghan, Queen’s University
