Volume 21, Issue 1 (2009)

Thank you for your interest in the 21st volume of NEXUS, published July 2009. This volume is the product of over a year of hard work on the part of the editorial board and the authors, and we are very pleased to finally share it with you. We thank everyone who submitted an article for our consideration, and all the copy editors and anonymous reviewers who generously volunteered their time to the academic improvement of this journal. As always, we extend our thanks as well to the Department of Anthropology, the Faculty of Social Sciences, and the School of Graduate Studies at McMaster University for their continuing support of this journal.

With Volume 21, we are pleased to announce the premiere of ONLINE availability of every NEXUS volume. This includes free access to all past volumes (since 1980 onwards), which were previously only available in print content to subscribers. With our new easy-to-access online format, we hope to be able to reach even more readers across Canada and beyond. We feel that this flexible medium of publication is well-suited to the ever-evolving world of anthropological expression, and encourage the future submission of alternative mediums such as video that can be easily accessed online.

Regards,

- Your Volume 21 Editorial Board
