The Highlander Journal
The Highlander Journal is an academic, open-access, and peer reviewed online journal, broadly concerned with the study of Asia's highland communities historically situated at the margins of the state, and is inspired by debates on the spatio-cultural aspects of 'Zomia'. This concept was used originally to imagine an alternate cartography of upland Asia, which in-turn spurred debates on state, culture, and social formation in the so-called peripheries. The Journal is a unique and accessible forum for multidisciplinary and comparative discussions, taking these concepts within and beyond Asia and thereby engaging with global conversations on interconnection and fragmentation.
