AFRICA

AFRICA is a multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary journal, covering all of the humanities and social sciences, and environmental studies where there is a strong focus on human interaction with the environment. Our core interest is ethnographic in the broadest sense -- not necessarily anthropological, but dealing with ‘life on the ground’ in Africa, and African people’s own thought, creative expressions and interpretations of their experience. 

The editors are pleased to receive articles that are based upon new material drawn from field work or archival data, and which also present an original theoretical argument, interpretation or analysis. We do not consider the following for publication: articles based entirely on secondary sources; or those whose approach is purely macro/statistical, or purely philosophical or literary without a socio-historical context, or purely polemical or programmatic/policy oriented.

Special Issues

Africa welcomes proposals for special issues of the journal. One special issue is published annually, usually the first issue in the volume. Special issues include eight or nine papers plus an Introduction from the guest editor(s). Special issue proposals are reviewed quarterly by the journal Editors, and are additionally reviewed by assigned members of the Editorial Advisory Board.
