The University of Nebraska Press is the proud publisher of over thirty journals, and today we’re highlighting five to subscribe to in the New Year. Covering the latest scholarship in Women and Gender Studies, Native American and Indigenous studies, Environmental Humanities, and more, these journals are the perfect introduction to our larger offering.

All Journals are available on Project Muse, JSTOR, and on our website.

American Book Review (ABR) 

For over four decades, ABR has highlighted frequently neglected books from small and indie presses through compelling and timely reviews. Each issue shares a diverse range of opinions, styles, and stories by writers for writers and the public.

The latest issue of ABR focuses on examples of and approaches to extreme satire. Read Sophia A. McClennen’s Introduction to the Issue, “The Extremes of Satire”, here.

Frontiers 

Throughout its 40+ year history, Frontiers has shaped the fields of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies by exploring the critical intersections among gender, race, sexuality, and transnationalism.

Its most recent issue centers feminisms within the Caribbean, Americas, and Africa.  “New Generation Caribbean Feminism: #beyondborders” by Asha Maharaj and Patricia Mohammed, for example, explores how digital tools shape and influence the unique sociocultural context of Caribbean feminism.

Journal of Black Sexuality and Relationships (JBSR) 

The official journal of the Association of Black Sexologists and Clinicians, JBSR is broad in its interdisciplinary approach to the study of sexuality and relationships among people of the African diaspora. Perspectives are provided by clinicians, educators, policymakers, and more to address crucial topics and focus on underrepresented communities within the field of sexuality studies.

JBSR’s latest issue focuses on bullying as a public health problem. Read “Exploring the Gender Differences in Bullying, Mental Health, and Sexual Behaviors Amongst Latinx Youth” by Ariana Avila and Fabienne Snowden here.

Resistance 

Under new editorial leadership, Resilience has become Resistance. In changing its name, the journal aims to establish itself as a hub for radical scholarship within the field of environmental humanities. By publishing articles with this intent, Resistance strives to foster a more equitable socioecological field of study and world at large.

American Indian Quarterly

One of the dominant journals in American Indian studies, American Indian Quarterly is committed to publishing work that contributes to the development of American Indian studies as a field and to the sovereignty and continuance of American Indian nations and cultures. In addition to peer-reviewed articles, AIQ features reviews of books, films, and exhibits.

A study in the latest issue “Sitting on the Watcher’s Stage: Networks of Kinship and Sovereignty Among the Corn Rows” by Jayne Elizabeth Kinney draws on scholarship from the Long Removal Era to challenge the typical narrative that conflates the Trail of Tears of 1838-39 with the history of Cherokee Removal.
