About Itinerario

Itinerario is a fully refereed international journal published three times a year by the Institute for the History of European Expansion (IGEER) of Leiden University, the Netherlands.

Itinerario is affiliated with Leiden University's Historical Institute, the Research School for Asian, African and Amerindian Studies (CNWS), and the Forum on European Expansion and Global Interaction (FEEGI) in the USA.

Itinerario, founded in 1977, offers a publishing platform for research on the history of European Expansion in both its Western and non-Western contexts, and its impact on World History in general.

Itinerario welcomes submissions dealing with comparative dimensions of European Expansion and cultural interaction world-wide. Articles from historians, ethno-historians, literary critics, and anthropologists, writing comparatively about any dimension of either the establishment of or the responses to it are welcome. Over the years Itinerario has developed into a journal concerned primarily with history; to be more exact, the history of European Overseas Expansion. In accordance with this, it features many articles on this subject, written by historians from all parts of the globe, including a number of very highly esteemed scholars. Apart from such articles, each new issue of Itinerario also includes an interview with some noted historian, and often contains notes and remarks on interesting archives and work to be done, and reviews of recent publications concerning European Expansion and related topics.
