Established in 2009, the (IAS/EIA) seeks to promote the interdisciplinary study of the Americas, focusing in particular on interconnections between North, Central, and South American cultures, literatures, media, languages, histories, societies, politics, and economies. Going beyond national points of reference, the association鈥檚 conferences and publications examine the current intensification of transnational and global trends in the Americas as well as their historical developments. Intercultural issues鈥攁long with their regional, national and hemispheric contexts鈥攁re of particular interest to this academic forum.
The Inter-American Studies series creates a forum for a critical academic dialogue between North and South on the cultures, societies, and histories of the Americas, promoting an inter-American paradigm that shifts the scholarly focus from methodological nationalism to the wider context of the Western Hemisphere.
The series is co-published in North America with German publisher (Germany).
