The Comparative Studies in Society and History Book Series (Series)

Each volume in this series originates with a selection of articles that have appeared in the quarterly journal Comparative Studies in Society and History. These articles are revised and are supplemented by newly commissioned essays. Individual volumes are designed with specific audiences in mind, with potential for classroom use a primary consideration. Each book is expected to stand alone as an important measure of the current state of the topic it addresses.
