Asian Anthropology seeks to bring interesting new anthropo-logical research on Asia to a global audience. Until now, anthropologists writing on Asian topics in English have had to depend largely on Western-based journals to publish their works. Given the increasing number of indigenous anthropologists and anthropologists based in Asia, now is the time for a new anthropology journal that is globally refereed but editorially Asian-based.
Asian Anthropology is editorially based in Hong Kong, but welcomes contri-butions from anthro-pologists and anthropology-related scholars throughout the world with an interest in Asia, especially East and Southeast Asia. The View of a Foreign Resident Anthropologist. Lessons from the Great East Japan Earthquake: The Public Use of Anthropological Knowledge. Peter Matanle and Anthony S.
