LAUNCH OF NEW BOOK SERIES: CALL FOR BOOK PROPOSALS

CONTEMPORARY ANARCHIST STUDIES

CONTINUUM BOOKS

In association with the U.K. Anarchist Studies Network, the North 
American Anarchist Studies Network, and AK Press

This new book series, the first peer-reviewed English-language series in 
anarchist studies by a major international academic publisher, seeks to 
promote the study of anarchism as a framework for understanding and 
acting on the most pressing problems of our times. To this end, we 
invite proposals for original manuscripts that exemplify cutting edge, 
socially engaged scholarship bridging theory and practice, academic 
rigour and the insights of contemporary activism.

We welcome book proposals on a wide variety of subjects including, but 
not limited to the following: anarchist history and theory broadly 
construed; individual anarchist thinkers; anarchist-informed analysis of 
current issues and institutions; and anarchist or anarchist-inspired 
movements and practices. Proposals informed by anti-capitalist, 
feminist, ecological, indigenous, and non-Western or global South 
anarchist perspectives are particularly welcome. So, too, are projects 
that promise to illuminate the relationships between the personal and 
the political aspects of transformative social change, local and global 
problems, and anarchism and other movements and ideologies. Above all, 
we wish to publish books that will help activist scholars and scholar 
activists think about how to challenge and build real alternatives to 
existing structures of oppression and injustice.

All proposals will be evaluated strictly according to their individual 
merits and compatibility with the aims of the series. In accord with 
this policy, we welcome proposals from independent scholars and new 
authors as well as from those with an institutional affiliation and 
publishing record. Titles accepted for publication in the series will be 
supported by an engaged and careful peer review process, including 
impartial assessments by members of an international editorial advisory 
board consisting of leading scholars in the field.*

All books published in the series will be publicised widely and 
distributed internationally via co-operative arrangements among a 
prominent network of independent academic, activist, and publishing 
organisations, including Continuum Books, AK Press, the U.K. Anarchist 
Studies Network, the North American Anarchist Studies Network, and a 
range of other professional and activist groups and their associated 
websites and listservs. The general format of the series will be 
simultaneous hardback and paperback publication, with the latter priced 
affordably so as to reach as wide an audience as possible. All of the 
titles in the series will be published under a Creative Commons License 
(‘copyleft’). This distinctive feature of the series ensures that 
permission for non-commercial reproduction of the books will be granted 
by the publishers free of charge to voluntary, campaign and community 
groups.

We are currently seeking book proposals that fit the description above. 
Please send proposals to one or more of the Book Series Editors: 
Laurence Davis (ldavis at oceanfree.net), Alex Prichard 
(w.a.prichard at lse.ac.uk), Nathan Jun (nathan.jun at mwsu.edu), and Uri 
Gordon (uri at riseup.net). Proposal guidelines may be downloaded from the 
Continuum website: http://www.continuumbooks.com/authors/default.aspx.

*Current board members include Martha Ackelsberg, John Clark, Jesse 
Cohn, Ronald Creagh, Marianne Enckell, Benjamin Franks, Judy Greenway, 
Ruth Kinna, Todd May, Salvo Vaccaro, and Lucien van der Walt.
