Journals / Books

Both participating depratments launched renowned scholarly journals in the past that have proved to yield long-lasting academic quality and excellence. The Department of American Studies publishes AMERICANA – E-Journal of American Studies in Hungary, and the Department of Hispanic Studies is behind Acta Hispanica and Homo Hispanicus. AMERICANA has also successfully initiated an ebook label, AMERICANA eBooks, which publishes scholarly literature and drama/fiction that falls within its purview and mission. Our latest collaboration resulted in two unique releases:
