Articles

Keekok Lee has published many books which are shown below. Details, short descriptions and purchasing are available by following the links beneath each book.

Her publications, both monographs and articles, have been submitted and accepted through the usual academic procedure. However, starting from Autumn 2021, she will make all forthcoming and future publications (monographs and articles) fully available under the Open Access mode for several reasons, of which the most compelling is the following. Many students and scholars have, over the years, approached her for copies of her work. Alas, she cannot release them to readers without violating copyright. Some have also told her that given the price of the monographs, they cannot afford to buy personal copies; some of them (from poorer economies) say that even their libraries may have some difficulty to buy them given their high cost. Open Access via keekoklee.org should solve these problems.
