The Africa Review of Books presents a biannual review of works on Africa in the social sciences, humanities and creative arts. It is also intended to serve as a forum for critical analyses, reflections and debates about Africa . As such, the Review solicits book reviews, review articles and essays. Contributions that traverse disciplinary boundaries and encourage interdisciplinary dialogue and debate are particularly welcome.

Reviews and essays should be original contributions: they should not have been published elsewhere prior to their submission, nor should they be under consideration for any other publication at the same time.

The recommended length of manuscripts is 2000 words, with occasional exceptions of up to 3,000 words for review articles or commissioned essays. Notes (which should be submitted as endnotes rather than as footnotes) should be used sparingly.

Manuscripts should begin with the following publication details : title of the book; author; publisher; number of pages; price; and ISBN number.

Manuscripts are best sent electronically as e-mail attachments. If sent by post as hard copy, they should be accompanied by soft versions on diskette in the MS Word or RTF format. Authors should also send with their submissions their full address and institutional affiliation as well as a short bio-data (including a sample of recent publications) for use on the “Notes on Contributors” section.

Authors are entitled to two copies of the issue of the Review in which their contribution is published.

All communications (contributions, editorial correspondence, books for review, as well as subscription and advertising enquiries) should be addressed to:
