Humanities and Social Sciences is a multidisciplinary series focused on the study of Arab, Islamic and Mediterranean societies from the perspective of several disciplines, particularly history, geography, political science, sociology, anthropology and Islamology. The series features primarily studies based on field work, a solid knowledge of concerned societies, and an examination of the media, and literary, legal and religious texts produced by and in the languages of such societies. Monographs as well as edited volumes, essays and translated works are all welcome to be part of the series.
