Description
The IU series (Islamkundliche Untersuchungen) was founded in 1969 by the Klaus Schwarz Verlag. Since then, it has become one of the most important venues for publications in Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies. Its more than 350 volumes cover a broad range from early Islamic to contemporary topics and address a wide range of topics from the fields of history, culture, and social studies. With a regional scope that includes Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority societies of West Asia and North Africa as well as in neighboring regions and contexts of migration, the IU series promotes research that draws on primary source material from these regions and critically engages with knowledge production in the field.
The series features monographs, edited volumes, scholarly editions of and translations from source languages, collection catalogues and is open for other formats. We welcome contributions from multiple disciplines (Islamic Theology, History and Philology, Political and Social Sciences, Anthropology, Religious Studies, etc.), including first books, e.g., revised dissertations or habilitations. We publish in English, German, French, and occasionally other languages.
For submissions, please contact the Acquisitions Editor Torsten Wollina (torsten.wollina@degruyterbrill.com).
