Writing a Review

It is is the general aim of AlterNative to participate in current debates in the field of indigenous affairs and solicit reviews on manuscripts published on indigenous peoples, issues and themes. A book review should not exceed 1000 words and follow the Author Guidelines. We encourage reviews of books published in English although we will consider, on a case-by-case basis, books published in a other languages. AlterNative only reviews books that have been published in the preceeding two years. We especially encourage reviews from graduate students or early career academics.

If you are interested in reviewing a book, either one that we have waiting for review or a volume that you think would be of interest to our readers, please contact us on editors [at] alternative [dot] ac [dot] nz with your details and (if applicable) the details of the book you wish to review. We can then confirm if it would be of interest and give you a deadline for submission. This does not infer publication, all reviews will be assessed for suitablity before publication.
