SERIES
Critical Studies in History of Anthropology
Regna Darnell and Stephen O. Murray, series editors
This series consists of critical studies of key aspects of the history of anthropology. The series aims for a balance between the reflexivity of contemporary theory and the historicism which has long been the keynote of the history of anthropology.
New Visions in Native American and Indigenous Studies
Margaret Jacobs and Robert J. Miller, series editors
The University of Nebraska Press and the American Philosophical Society’s New Visions in Native American and Indigenous Studies proposes to publish first-rate research in Native American History and Native American Legal and Policy Studies, with an emphasis on the subject area in the disciplines of History, Anthropology, Law, Legal History, Religious Studies, Social Work, Health, and Public Policy.
The UNP-APS series offers opportunities for UNP to build on its already strong reputation in the field of Native American and Indigenous Studies by attracting the best new scholarship in the field and partnering with American Philosophical Society, the largest archive of Native American and Indigenous materials in North America and one of the Top 3 learned societies in the world. The series will cement the working relationship of UNP and APS, as well as draw on the resources of APS as a major, grant-funding institution in Native American and Indigenous Studies through its Phillips Fund Research Grants.
The partners envision the series as open to any high-quality scholarship in the field, but manuscripts will be solicited in broad thematic areas related to editors’ research interests and expertise: Domesticity, Intimacy, and the Family; Decolonization, Reparation, Redress, and other legal issues; and Comparative and Transnational Indigenous Studies. These areas represent some of the most important new directions in the field of American Indian and Indigenous Studies in the last decade.
Borderlands and Transcultural Studies
Rosalyn LaPier, Rudy P. Guevarra, Jr., and Paul Spickard, series editors
A venue for the scholarly study of borderlands—of the encounters, intersections, and collisions between peoples and cultures—the books in this series focus on comparative borderlands, multiple identities (borderlands of race, culture, and identity), race in the American West, human migrations, and colonial encounters.
Historical Archaeology of the American West
Annalies Corbin and Rebecca Allen, series editors
This series includes exemplary studies of historical archaeology in the western United States.
Native Literatures of the Americas and Indigenous World Literatures
Brian Swann, series editor
The series showcases the rich literary traditions of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. Native Literatures of the Americas primarily publishes collected volumes of newly translated oral literatures and indigenous texts, as well as retranslations of classic texts. Each volume is accompanied by expert commentary and interpretive contextualization of Indigenous literatures.
Kimberly Blaeser, Brenda J. Child, R. David Edmunds,, and K. Tsianina Lomawaima, series editors
Previously published and previously unpublished autobiographies, biographies, and memoirs of Native Americans, selected for their anthropological and historical interest and literary merit.
David Delgado Shorter and Randolph Lewis, series editors
The series explores and illuminates individual films produced by or about indigenous peoples around the globe. Each book in the series focuses on one film, addressing key issues raised by the film and demonstrating effective ways to interpret the film. The purpose of the series is to provide short, accessible, and affordable companions to major indigenous films that can be used in classrooms across a number of fields and by the general public.
Margaret Connell Szasz, Brenda J. Child, Karen Gayton Comeau, John W. Tippeconnic III, and Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert, series editors
This series explores and illuminates the essential dimensions of the process and experience of indigenous education, past and present. Books in the series shed light on the historical and present conditions of the transmission and reception of knowledge across generations in indigenous communities.
Studies in the Anthropology of North American Indians
Raymond J. DeMallie and Douglas R. Parks, series editors
This series includes works on American Indian ethnography, ethnology, ethnohistory, and linguistics. The geographic focus includes all of native North America.
Studies in the Native Languages of the Americas
Tim Thornes, series editor
This series is designed to attract, disseminate as widely as possible, and assist in the creation of the best possible book-length works that examine the indigenous languages of North and South America. Candidates of the series are winners of the Mary R. Haas Award, which is bestowed annually by the Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas for best monograph written that year. The series seeks to publish descriptive monographs based on significant fieldwork, as well as dictionaries and analyzed collections of texts.

JOURNALS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESS
American Indian Quarterly
American Indian Quarterly has earned its reputation as one of the dominant journals in American Indian studies by presenting the best and most thought-provoking scholarship in the field. AIQ is a forum for diverse voices and perspectives spanning a variety of academic disciplines. The common thread is AIQ’s commitment to publishing work that contributes to the development of American Indian studies as a field and to the sovereignty and continuance of American Indian nations and cultures. In addition to peer-reviewed articles, AIQfeatures reviews of books, films, and exhibits.
Anthropological Linguistics
Anthropological Linguistics provides a forum for the full range of scholarly study of the languages and cultures of the peoples of the world, especially the native peoples of the Americas. Embracing the field of language and culture broadly defined, the journal includes articles and research reports addressing cultural, historical, and philological aspects of linguistic study, including analyses of texts and discourse; studies of semantic systems and cultural classifications; onomastic studies; ethnohistorical papers that draw significantly on linguistic data; studies of linguistic prehistory and genetic classification, both methodological and substantive; discussions and interpretations of archival material; edited historical documents; and contributions to the history of the field.
Collaborative Anthropologies
Collaborative Anthropologies is a forum for dialogue with a special focus on the complex collaborations between and among researchers and research participants/interlocutors. It features essays that are descriptive as well as analytical, from all subfields of anthropology and closely related disciplines, and that present a diversity of perspectives on collaborative research.
