Africa Review of Books
ISSN 0851-7592
The Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) is pleased to announce that it has finalised arrangements for the publication of the Africa Review of Books.
For CODESRIA, the project dates back more than a decade and grew out of a felt need, expressed by members of the African academic community, to produce a publication of high scholarly standing that would be a useful resource for all those who are actively engaged in research in and on Africa.
The Review is designed to:
* serve, in a broad sense, as a multi-disciplinary forum for critical analyses,
discussion and debate about Africa, both historically and contemporaneously;
* bring to the attention of the scholarly community works of significance
which are published within Africa and which might otherwise be lost for lack
of proper dissemination; * undertake a regular assessment of major works
published on Africa outside the continent; * produce short state-of-the-art
commentaries on concepts, methodology and trends in the study of Africa and
African affairs; and * take regular stock of the evolution of the various
disciplines and what this implies for the study of Africa.
The Review is a bi-annual publication in English and French with an initial print run of 2500 copies per edition, and its ISSN is 0851-7592.
In line with CODESRIA's Charter-mandate of strengthening the institutional basis of knowledge production in Africa, the Council decided that the Review will be located within an African institution actively involved in social research. The Forum for Social Studies (FSS) in Ethiopia and the Centre de Recherche en Anthropologie Sociale et Culturelle (CRASC) coordinate the English and French editions of the Review.
