Open Access: South Asia Multidisciplinary Academic Journal

Migration and Constructions of the Other is the topic of the first (and most recent) issue of the Open Access journal South Asia Multidisciplinary Academic Journal.

According to their self-description, the journal “seeks to ‘democratize’ research-based studies on South Asia by giving them a greater visibility through a free and worldwide access. It is the “first academic and peer-reviewed on-line journal devoted to social sciences studies on South Asia.” It covers studies in history, geography, anthropology, sociology, political science and economy.

The next issue (due in Spring 2008) will deal with the mobilization of ‘offended communities’ in South Asia.
