Hau Books is the book-publishing wing of the Society for Ethnographic Theory (SET), a learned society that also publishes the quarterly journal Hau: Journal of Ethnographic Theory. Hau Books, founded in 2015 by Giovanni da Col, is committed to publishing the most distinguished texts in classic and contemporary ethnographic theory. Its aim is to situate ethnography as the central heuristic of anthropology and to return it to the forefront of conceptual developments in the discipline. Hau Books publishes its titles in print, e-book, and open-access formats. Our print editions are produced, distributed, and marketed by the University of Chicago Press, and digital versions are provided to university libraries through Knowledge Unlatched. Our open-access titles can be found on our All Titles page.
