About the press
 
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
