Bettie Allison Rand Lectures in Art History
Chapel Hill Books
Civil War America
Cultural Studies of the United States
The CSUS series is devoted to opening new lines of thought in the critical analysis of culture (recognizing many "cultures") in America. Books in the series will lead the way in interrogating ideas and forms of Americanness.
Envisioning Cuba
Attention centers on the exploration of historical and cultural circumstances and conditions--for example, colonialism, slavery, racism, imperialism, and revolution--related to the development of Cuban self-definition and national identity. Salient thematic concerns of the series include power and powerlessness, dictatorship and democracy, repression and resistance, populism and mass mobilization, nationalism and competing ideologies, cultural transitions, and social transformations. The series features innovative scholarship engaged with theoretical approaches and interpretive frameworks informed by social, cultural, and intellectual perspectives.
Gender and American Culture
The Gender and American Culture series, guided by feminist perspectives, examines the social construction and influence of gender within the full range of American cultures. Books in the series explore the intersection of gender (both female and male) with such markers of difference as race, class, region, and sexuality. The series presents outstanding scholarship from all areas of American studies--including history, literature, religion, folklore, ethnography, and the visual arts--that investigates in a thoroughly contextualized and lively fashion the ways in which gender works with and against these markers. In so doing, the series seeks to reveal how these complex interactions have shaped American life.
Islamic Civilization and Muslim Networks
Highlighting themes with historical as well as contemporary significance,
Islamic Civilization and Muslim Networks will publish works that explore
Islamic societies and Muslim peoples from a fresh perspective, emphasizing
systems of exchange that have promoted the creation and development of
Islamic identities. The series spans all periods of Islamic civilization
and geographically encompasses the entire Afro-Eurasian mercantile world.

We find it increasingly evident that medicine is cultural as well as biological and that health care must be studied as a social, political, economic, and moral force, and not simply a scientific one. Studies in Social Medicine seeks to explore this interplay of medicine and society across a broad spectrum of humanities and social science disciplines. Books in the series offer original insights into the forces shaping patterns of health and disease, the experience of illness and its meaning, and the nature of social responses to disease.
Edited by Richard Talbert, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Peter Rhodes, University of Durham, England, and Robin Osborne, Oxford University, England
