Selected titles from this

Urban Anthropology is the first series of its kind to
be established by a major academic publisher. Ethnographically
global, the series includes original, empirically based works of
high analytical and theoretical calibre. All volumes published in
the series are peer-reviewed.
The editors encourage submission of sole authored and edited
manuscripts that address key issues that have comparative value in
the current international academic and political debates. These
issues include, but are by no means limited to: the methodological
challenges posed by urban field research; the role of kinship,
family and social relations; the gap between citizenship and
governance; the legitimacy of policy and the law; the relationships
between the legal, the semi-legal and the illegal in the economic
and political fields; the role of conflicting moralities across the
social, cultural and political spectra; the problems raised by
internal and international migration; the informal sector of the
economy and its complex relationships with the formal sector and
the law; the impact of the process of globalization on the local
level and the significance of local dynamics in the global context;
urban development, sustainability and global restructuring;
conflict and competition within and between cities.
Italo Pardo and Giuliana Prato are both on the scientific board
for the open-access anthropological journal, Urbanities.
