Contemporary Anthropology of Religion Book Series

SAR, with Palgrave Macmillan, offers the Contemporary Anthropology of Religion Series, which is dedicated to strengthening existing research in the anthropology of religion, while exploring new directions. The series editors are Hillary Kaell (McGill University, Canada), Sowparnika Balaswaminathan (Concordia University, Canada), and David Kloos (Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies, The Netherlands).

Through ethnographically and analytically rich portrayals of religion around the world, the books in this series make significant contributions to theoretical discussions, area expertise, and public debates. They are written from diverse perspectives and have broad comparative appeal, including for interdisciplinary audiences. Topics of interest include lived religion, material religion, embodiment, ritual, social memory, ecology, gender, conflict and violence, politics, law and governance, globalization, technology, pluralism, and diversity, among others. Contemporary Anthropology of Religion provides a crucial forum for expanding our understanding of religion globally.

The series publishes authors from around the world and its books are distributed in hard cover, paperback, and ebook. The editors welcome inquiries about prospective projects.
