Any previously unpublished manuscript that is economic, anthropological, and religious-oriented may be considered, but papers that (1) utilize original data obtained through empirical ethnographic research methods, and (2) in some way engage the general economic anthropology literature, will be especially welcome. The editors will seek an overall balance for the volume in geographical and topical focus.

Ideally, papers should not exceed 10,000 words (excluding notes and references). They should also be double-spaced, and all tables, figures, photographs, or other images must be of publishable quality and clear for publication regarding copyright laws. Authors need to include an abstract of about 100 words. Notes are to be arranged as endnotes, preceding references. Electronic submissions are preferred. Please use MS Word.

Either UK spelling or USA spelling will be acceptable.
