Two new book series, “Class and Inequality” and “State, Politics, and Society” from Emerald Publishing, are seeking scholarly, book-length manuscript submissions. “Class and Inequality” examines the class basis of inequality and provides an analysis of the widening gaps in wealth and income arising from class, racial, and gender inequalities that are the outcome of exploitative social relations. “State, Politics, and Society” provides an analysis of the class nature and role of the state in society, hence the relationship between the state and opposing class forces vying for power in attempting to understand the nature and dynamics of political power in the early 21st century. For information about submitting your book proposal, visit the website. For more information about the book series, contact the editor Berch Berberoglu. Manuscripts are accepted on an ongoing basis.
