Southeast Asia Publications, the publishing unit of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, ceased operation in January 2010 and began a new relationship with NIU Press. 

The center and Northern Illinois University Press are collaborating on a new book series covering important Southeast Asian topics. An international editorial board of distinguished scholars has been established with CSEAS Director James T. Collins serving as editor. The board includes Shamsul Amri Baharuddin (National University of Malaysia), Michael Buehler (NIU), David Chandler (Monash University), Kenton Clymer (NIU), J. Joseph Errington (Yale University), Trude Jacobsen (NIU), Michael Laffan (Princeton University), Judy Ledgerwood (NIU), and W. A. L. Stokhof (Leiden University).

The first three books in the series have been published. They are Tagalog Verb Dictionary, 2011, by Michael Hawkins and Rhodalyne Gallo-Crail, Wives, Slaves, and Concubines: A History of the Female Underclass in Dutch Asia, 2010, by NIU historian Eric Jones, and Meaningful Tone: A Study of Tonal Morphology in Compounds, Form Classes, and Expressive Phrases in White Hmong, 2010, by Martha Ratliff, linguist at Wayne State University.

In addition to the Southeast Asia book series, NIU Press has also taken over the publishing and distribution of:

• the textbook, Southeast Asia: Crossroads of the World (2nd ed., 2004), by Clark Neher
• the Burmese language series by John Okell (1994)
• the Vietnamese language series by Nguyen Long, Marybeth Clark, Nguyen Bich Thuan, and Le Pham Thuy Kim (1994-1999).

In its nearly 50-year history, Southeast Asia Publications has published more than 70 scholarly books and innovative language texts, along with the journal Crossroads. We appreciate your interest in all of our publications and hope you will continue to look for excellent writing and research on Southeast Asia in the new series published with NIU Press. For more information, please contact NIU Press.
