The Journal of African History publishes articles and book reviews ranging widely over the African past, from the late Stone Age to the 1970s.
Contributions dealing with precolonial history are especially welcome.
Articles on slavery, the slave trade and the interpretation of oral tradition are included. Books for review should be sent to Dr Gareth Austin. Contributors should keep in mind the general readership for whom they are writing and relate their findings specifically to relevant secondary literature. Submission of a paper will be taken to imply that it is unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Contributors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce any material in which they do not hold copyright and for ensuring that the appropriate acknowledgements are included in their manuscript.
