New Asian Studies Books – University of Hawaiʻi Press AAS 2026 Selection

Posted on by UH Press

University of Hawaiʻi Press is pleased to present a curated selection of titles for the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) Annual Conference.

Our AAS 2026 featured books and journals reflect the breadth and depth of contemporary Asian Studies research. These titles engage topics including colonialism and empire, intellectual history, cultural production, religion, and political life, offering new perspectives grounded in archival research, ethnography, and interdisciplinary analysis.

Award-Winning Titles at AAS 2026

University of Hawaiʻi Press is honored to celebrate two award-winning titles recognized by the Association for Asian Studies in 2026 for their outstanding scholarly contributions.

Even in the Rain: Uyghur Music in Modern China by Chuen-Fung Wong is the winner of the E. Gene Smith Inner Asia Book Prize, which recognizes exceptional and innovative research on Inner Asia. This book examines Uyghur musical life in contemporary China, revealing how musicians navigate cultural identity, artistic practice, and political pressure. Through ethnographic insight and musical analysis, Wong demonstrates how music functions as a powerful site of expression, memory, and resilience.

Epistemology of the Past: Texts, History, and Intellectuals of Cambodia, 1855–1970 by Theara Thun received an Honorable Mention for the Harry J. Benda Prize, awarded annually to an outstanding first book in Southeast Asian studies. This landmark study explores the development of historical knowledge in Cambodia by centering the intellectuals, texts, and scholarly practices that shaped understandings of the past during a period of colonialism, nationalism, and political transformation.

In addition to these prize-winning books, University of Hawaiʻi Press’s AAS 2026 featured titles and journals highlight recent and notable publications across Asian Studies and related fields. These works showcase cutting-edge research and diverse methodological approaches that speak to key debates shaping the discipline today.
