SAMAJ - South Asia Multidisciplinary Academic Journal
Association pour la Recherche sur l'Asie du Sud, Paris, France
Supplied note: "SAMAJ is the first online journal devoted to social studies on South Asia, which [since Oct 2007 - ed.] publishes research-based articles in extenso and free of cost, while still applying the basic rules of all scientific journals. Written by professional academics as well as doctoral students, every article has been anonymously reviewed by two referees before publication. Its scope is multidisciplinary, covering studies in history, geography, anthropology, sociology, political science and economy.
SAMAJ's first issue includes a special volume on 'Migration and Construction of the Other', with articles on 'Relations between Panjabi Sikhs and Muslims in the Diaspora' and 'Islamophobia in Indian American Lobbies', among others. It also offers articles on 'Studying a Controversy among Pushtuns in Balochistan', 'State, Ethnicity and Social Class in Kabul at War' and on the 'Genesis, Maturation and Distortion of the Bangladeshi Army', along with reviews of recent publications by Stephen Cohen, Magnus Marsden and Yoginder Sikand.
The next issue, due in Fall 2008, will address 'Outraged Communities: Investigating the Politicization of Emotions in South Asia'. We would be delighted if you could contribute an article on this (see call for paper at: http://samaj.revues.org/document217.html). Contributors are also welcome to submit articles on any other subject of their choice and whenever they wish. While SAMAJ's thematic volumes are published on an annual basis, separate articles, as well as book reviews, can be included at any time - a flexibility that only an online journal provides. [...]
