A variety of emerging subject areas like gender studies, tribal studies, peace and conflict studies, development economics, social, formation, etc. are the major focus of the series. These subject areas have generally remained in the domain of academic discussion and hence there is a felt need to introduce these ideas to the general reader in non-academic and concise monographs.

The studies seek to bring out the salient features of the impact of cross-cultural interaction, alienation and exile, displacement, immigration, etc. on various knowledge systems like literature, sociology, culture, philosophy, etc. Emerging as a significant field of study, NBT’s foray into this area of publishing is a pioneering effort.

Asian/Pacific Co-publication Programme
This is a novel attempt under the aegis of UNESCO, at developing books for Asian children by Asian authors. To have children in Korea share their fantasies with their counterparts in Sri Lanka is probably no small achievement. And when Indian and Pakistani editors work as part of a team to build a list for children in the 20 odd countries of the continent we inhabit, it’s a great new beginning. The many worlds from Tehran to Tokyo intermingle to give colour to words that children across the continent, if not the world, would love to read. These books are steps for bridging minds and creating a common heritage for this vast continent and are the very best of Asia today.
