About JANA
The Journal for the Anthropology of North America (JANA) is the peer-reviewed publication of the Society for the Anthropology of North America. JANA publishes scholarship concerned with the anthropology of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. While elements of this research tradition are addressed by applied, medical, educational, political, and urban anthropology, among others, JANA focuses upon this region as an “area” by placing research findings in historical perspective and theoretical conversation. JANA is particularly committed to featuring work from diversely situated scholars that builds on critiques of inequality and violence to further envision, imagine, investigate, and enact actual alternatives to the ‘-isms’ of our time. The journal prioritizes manuscripts that anchor theory-building in compelling ethnographic grounding and that bring out the reflexive and ethical dimension of fieldwork: the what is to be done?
JANA published research articles, Coming to Terms essays, Snapshots, and book and film reviews. JANA is not currently accepting submissions.
