A journal primarily devoted to sociocultural anthropology, TJA seeks to bring interesting and exciting new anthropological findings to the global audience. TJA is an international bilingual journal that publishes Chinese and English articles addressing theoretical, empirical and ethnographic issues in all sub-fields of anthropology. The purpose of TJA is to provide a major anthropological forum that bridges developments in contemporary international anthropology between Chinese and English audiences.

TJA invites anthropologists and scholars in other disciplines---who wish to engage in dialogue with anthropologists, to submit their work for publication. We seek and appreciate greatly your general support, through submissions, subscriptions, and comments.

 

◇ TJA is currently indexed or abstracted in the following: Anthropological Literature, Bibliography of Asian Studies, Index to Chinese Periodical Literature, Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts, International Bibliography of the Social Sciences, Sociological Abstracts, Academic Search Premier, SocINDEX with Full Text, Asia-Studies Full-Text Online.
