Sussex Academic, one of the UK’s premier academic
presses, serves the international academic community and promotes
the publication
of outstanding works of learning and scholarship to a global audience.
At Sussex we are committed to publishing to the highest standards
across continually expanding academic subject disciplines, from original
research to scholarly reference. The
editorial and production staff at Sussex Academic recognize that
it is a privilege to publish books and we very much value
our role in publishing for scholarship and learning. The Press
supports authors through strong editorial and development skills,
and is committed to serving the world of scholarship by promoting
our authors’ writing and research endeavours so that they
make the maximum impact on their readership and profession.
At Sussex Academic we are very much aware of our corporate responsibilities
with regard to the ‘carbon footprint’ expended in making
our books available world-wide. 2008 will see the beginning
of ‘print local’ arrangements in place for the US market.
On the home front we are committed to the environment in which
we live, and continually look for ways to make a positive impact
toward mitigating the threat of climate change. We believe that
this commitment is in line with the core values of our authors,
suppliers and purchasers of our books.
This new format catalogue contains details
of forthcoming publications in 2008/9, as well as an
index listing, by subject
category, earlier publications. The Press publishing programme
continues to address issues of contemporary relevance and debate
in Middle East Studies, Theology & Religion, History, and Literary
Criticism. Sussex Libraries of Study include Latin American Studies,
First Nations and the Colonial Encounter, Contemporary Spanish
History in conjunction with the Cañada Blanch Foundation,
and Asian Studies. Up-to-date information on the SAP publishing
programme is available at www.sussex-academic.co.uk
The Press continues to commission actively and new proposals are
always welcome. A Book Proposal form can be downloaded from the
Press website by clicking on the Authors button. All books submitted
to the Press are refereed by external advisers.

“Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and
nations . . . Their authors are a natural and irresistible aristocracy in every
society, and, more than kings and emperors, exert an
influence on mankind.”
Henry David Thoreau, 1817–62
