Arab Studies Quarterly (ASQ) was established in 1979 by the late Professors Edward Said and Ibrahim Abu-Lughod. They envisioned the journal to be a platform for academic research to counter anti-Arab propaganda veiled by academic jargon. Since its inception, ASQ has been a refereed academic journal that publishes articles on the Arabs, their history and social and political institutions. The journal continues in the tradition of its founders and is committed to promoting a humanism grounded in research as a counter to the dominant Orientalist discourses in the field of Arab (and Middle East) Studies.

Pluto Journals was launched in 2009 and is committed to promote critical thinking and provide a forum for emerging currents of thought on the issues facing our society in this age of globalisation and multiculturalism. We publish high-quality academic journals in the field of politics, current affairs, international studies, political economy, Arab and Islamic studies and want to offer our broad base of readers worldwide the most original contributions to academic research in those areas, in the attempt to raise political awareness and deepen the knowledge and understanding of other cultures.
