Illes i Imperis

Aims & Scope

Illes i Imperis is a journal that has been published by the GRIMSE (Research Group on Empires, Metropolis and Extra-European Societies) since 1998.

It aims to publish studies on colonial and postcolonial societies.

The objectives of the editorial board are patently open.

They admit all means of approaching colonial societies and their subsequent realities, provided they meet the quality requirements that are characteristic of the social sciences in our era.

We accept and promote the publication of historical papers, although we also welcome contributions from other areas of the social sciences.

Illes i Imperis disseminates studies, texts and quantitative materials, it provides references and offers bibliographical commentaries, in addition to information on activities of interest to scholars and those intrigued by the history of societies in the colonial and postcolonial world.

In short, the journal strives to serve as a platform for airing the academic concerns of those who take an interest in studying these societies.

GRIMSE’s interests have taken a preferential leaning towards studies on Latin America, the Philippines and Southeast Asia; on North Africa; and in relation to the Hispanic metropolitan world during the 15th to 20th centuries.

Nevertheless, the journal is not only focussed on studies in this field; rather, in general, it serves as a platform for the publication of academic papers on other areas and periods.

We are particularly motivated by studies on other empires (the Portuguese, French, English and Dutch empires, etc.), comparative perspectives and, broadly speaking, analyses that are forged on the basis of typical concerns in the field of World History.
