Brill’s Southeast Asia List
Historically, Brill’s list in Southeast Asian Studies has been supported by its strong (academic) connections with Indonesia. Publications on Islamic and Malay Studies, Chinese Diaspora, migration, law of the sea, and religion have further strengthened this list.
Initiated in 1938, ‘VKI’, or the ‘Verhandelingen’, is the longest running series of monographs and edited volumes on the humanities and social sciences of Southeast Asia and especially Indonesia. So far, more than 300 volumes have been published, among which more than 100 volumes are freely available as Open Access titles. This series is published in cooperation with KITLV (The Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies), and it is edited by Rosemarijn Hoefte and David Kloos.
This series is indexed in Scopus.

Attendant to the rise of the Southeast Asian diasporas, Global Southeast Asian Diasporas (SEAD) provides a peer-reviewed forum for studies that specifically investigate the histories and experiences of Southeast Asian diasporic subjects across hemispheres. This series invites studies that critically focus on the Southeast Asian experience from a transnational, comparative, and international perspective.
It welcomes submissions from a wide array of disciplinary fields (including history, sociology, political science, cultural studies, literary studies, and anthropology, among others) that innovatively interrogate themes such as refugees, political asylum, gender/sexuality, colonialism, globalization, empire, nation/nationalism, ethnicity, and transnationalism.
This series is edited by Richard Chu (University of Massachusetts), Augusto F. Espiritu (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), and Mariam Lam (University of California, Riverside).
This series focuses on environmental and sustainable development in Southeast Asia and the wider Asia-Pacific region, where many scientific, governance, and societal questions emerge at the local, national, regional and global levels. Such questions call for research and publications with theoretical perspectives, as well as studies that provide rich empirical and comparative analysis originated from the region.
Edited by Ronald L. Holzhacker (University of Groningen), the series welcomes contributions from the social sciences, including political science, economics, geography, sociology, anthropology, development studies and law, as well as inter-disciplinary work with the natural sciences.
Handbooks of Colonialism in Asia (HCIA)
To think of colonialism as a thing of the past entails conceiving history in episodic terms, as if the era of Empire was somehow distinct and distant from our present-day realities. Yet the legacy of colonialism is still very much with us in myriad of forms: from the postcolonial geography of Asia, which was largely fixed during the colonial era, through to the economic, technological, and political inequalities so starkly revealed by recent social and political movements.
This series aims to cover the various aspects of colonialism as it (re)shaped Asia in its own image, by focusing on the modalities and impact of colonialism in Asia from the mid-18th to the early 20th century. Contributions to the series include works from a wide range of disciplines – from history to literature, political history to economics, from Southeast Asia through South Asia to East Asia and the respective studies thereof. Our goal is to provide works of reference for scholars interested in colonialism, history of empires, Asian history, local cultures, and Asian Studies in general.
The handbook is edited by Farish Ahmad-Noor (University of Malaya) and Peter Carey (University of Indonesia).
