About the journal
Aims & Scope
The Journal of African Cultural Studies is an international journal providing a forum for perceptions of African culture from inside and outside Africa, with a special commitment to African scholarship. It focuses on dimensions of African culture including African literatures both oral and written, performance arts, visual arts, music, the role of the media, the relationship between culture and power, as well as issues within such fields as popular culture in Africa, sociolinguistic topics of cultural interest, and culture and gender. It has evolved from the journal African Languages and Cultures, founded in 1988 in the Department of the Languages and Cultures of Africa at the School of Oriental and African Studies, London. Although the journal no longer carries articles on African languages that are primarily linguistic in character, it remains strongly interested in the languages of Africa as channels for the expression of their culture. All views expressed are those of the authors and are not necessarily those of the editors.

Instructions to Authors
Submission. The editors welcome original contributions. Manuscripts will be acknowledged on receipt, and a decision on publication reached as soon as possible. Papers should not be submitted to several journals at once.
Editorial correspondence, including manuscripts for submission, should be addressed to the Editors, Journal of African Cultural Studies, Department of the Languages and Cultures of Africa, School of Oriental and African Studies, Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London, WC1H OXG, UK.

Presentation. All material should be typewritten or printed. Two copies are preferred, but we will accept a single copy from addresses in Africa; please retain a copy for yourself. There should be an initial page with the title, author's name (as you wish it to appear), institution and mailing address (including email and fax if available); the title should be repeated on the first page of the text, without author's name. If typing, use a dark ribbon on one side of the paper only (allowing us to scan the paper electronically instead of retyping). If preparing on a computer, send a printed copy in the first instance, and we will request a diskette if your paper is accepted for publication. Manuscripts should normally not exceed 12000 words (about 22 pages of print).
Abstract. A short abstract of 150-300 words should precede the introduction. The abstract should be clear and informative giving an indication of the scope of the paper and its main arguments.
African language text. All examples and text in African languages will be distinguished in the journal by change of font, but may be distinguished in any convenient way in the ms.
Notes. Notes now appear as endnotes at the end of the article; they should be numbered consecutively throughout the text. Notes should not be used for references (see below).
