American Anthropological Association Virtual Exhibit

Welcome to the UNC Press Virtual Exhibit for the American Anthropological Association.

Scroll through our newest releases!

Since we can’t be together at the conference, we’re bringing our book exhibit to you.

From virtually anywhere, you can browse our list of new and recent titles, chat with one of our acquisitions editors, and more.

All of our books (in fact, our entire site) are available now at our 40 percent conference discount. Plus if your order totals $75, domestic U.S. shipping is FREE! Just use promo code 01DAH40 at checkout.

Follow the links below for information on submitting a book proposal, ordering desk or examination copies (even free digital exam copies), classroom permissions, disability resources, and more. We’ve even created a handy FAQ document, with answers to the most-asked questions we get at exhibit booths.
