From Mark Selden, Sociology, SUNY-Binghamton To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Book Series I would like to draw the attention of members of the network to two relatively new book series I edit at Westview Press: 1) Social Change in Global Perspective and 2) Transitions: Asia and Asian America. And particularly to invite contributions. Social Change in Global Perspective Mark Selden, Series Editor, Westview Press Exploring the relationship between social change and social structures, this series considers the theory, praxis, promise, and pitfalls of movements in global and comparative perspective. The historical and contemporary social movements considered here challenge patterns of hierarchy and inequality of race, gender, nationality, ethnicity, class, and culture. The series includes textbooks as well as broadly interpretive and synthetic works. TRANSITIONS: ASIA AND ASIAN AMERICA The Asia/Pacific region stands at a crossroads, riven by the competing forces of socialism and capitalism, tradition and modernity, nationalism and globalism. The books in this series explore broad themes of transition-the human, ecological, and civilizational consequences of economic development, of political and military conflicts, of populations in motion, and of social and cultural transformation in Asia and in the Asian-American experience. The series is grounded in three general perspectives. DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL CHANGE considers the structuring of economies, polities, and societies by states, by capital and technology, and by markets-often in conflict with cultures, communities, and nature. POPULAR MOVEMENTS considers 20th-century anti-colonial, socialist, and post-socialist revolutions; continuing struggles for self-determination of nations, classes, ethnic and religious groups, and women; battles over democratic rights and processes; and new social movements. Through autobiography, literature, memoir, and social criticism, ASIAN AND ASIAN-AMERICAN VOICES will make available in English some of the most compelling writers now questioning and shaping societies and cultures in Asia and the United States. The series includes textbooks, monographs, and works of general interest that illuminate issues that are essential for a deeper understanding of a critical region that continues to challenge and contradict Western assumptions.
