Critical Acclaim

The old tension between history and theory finds itself completely outmoded in CSSAAME whose extensively historical and theoretical articles tell us crucial things not only about their local subjects but about globalization itself, class structure, politics and culture all over the world. (Fredric Jameson, Duke University)

Here is a journal that has consistently responded to the shifting challenges of interregional comparison.It never fails to combine intensity of areal focus with geographic breadth while anchoring local cultural debates in appropriate macroregional perspectives. (Arjun Appadurai, University of Chicago)

CSSAAME is the only academic journal that explores thematic issues of global importance from these three regions of the world [South Asia, Africa and the Middle East]. I applaud the leadership and vision, the energy and the insight that have shaped CSSAAME to date. (Bruce Lawrence, Duke University)
