About the journal

Aims & Scope

Rooted in a long tradition of scholarship, African Studies provides an inter-disciplinary forum for conceptual and empirical writing relevant to Africa, and that contributes to international dialogue and debate. The journal is edited from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, but draws on the expertise of an active editorial board, as well as a wide range of referees both within and beyond Southern Africa. The journal is paerticularly keen to consolidate and extend its commitment to support the publication of especially younger scholars of Africa.
The end of the academic boycott has facilitated South Africa's re-entry into the field of international scholarship, which has made for a vibrant exchange of ideas between local academics and those from abroad or from other parts of Africa. While mirroring the character of local debate, the journal also aims to contribute to a broader and more international dialogue. To this end, it draws not only on the commitment and expertise of its working editorial board, which is based at the University of the Witwatersrand, but also on a wide range of referees both within and beyond southern Africa.

First published as Bantu Studies in 1921, the journal included among its early editors and contributors many pioneering scholars in anthropology and linguistics: Schapera, Gluckman, Marwick, Mayer, Vilakazi, Rheinallt Jones, Doke, Cole, and Hammond-Tooke. Building on this legacy, the journal now casts its net more broadly and includes history, sociology, politics, geography, and literary and cultural studies

Instructions to Authors
Note to Authors: please make sure your contact address information is clearly visible on the outside of all packages you are sending to Editors.***

Academics and others with specialist knowledge of African affairs are welcome to submit contributions to African Studies. Contributions should be submitted in English and adhere to the following criteria:

Books for review should be sent to Bridget Kenny, Sociology Department, University of the Witwatersrand, Private Bag X3, Wits 2050 South Africa.

Articles for publication should be in MS Word or recent, compatible software format, and ideally, sent electronically to the Editor at AfricanStudies.Wits@gmail.com.

All hard copy contributions (with accompanying 3.5 2S 2D diskette) and other correspondence should be addressed to the Editor, African Studies, Department of Sociology, University of the Witwatersrand, Wits 2050, South Africa.

A short review (about 100 words) of the contributor's present occupation and research interests and a physical contact address, and if available, an email address must accompany the manuscript.

The maximum length of any article should be 10,000 words, including references, endnotes and tables.

The manuscript and references should be written in UK English and typed in 12-point font. Highly stylised formatting should be avoided. Maps, diagrams and graphs essential to the subject of the article should be camera-ready. These should be saved as separate files, rather than included in the text, with the preferred point of insertion labelled in the text.

African Studies follows the Harvard referencing system. All references to books, articles and statistical sources should be identified at the appropriate point in the text (African Studies 2006). When the author of the reference is named as part of the text itself, the year is placed in parentheses, for example 'Smith (2006) says ...'. When a page number is provided, the convention is (Smith 2006:27) - no space between the colon and the page number.

Complex primary source references, which are not suitable to the Harvard system, can be placed in endnotes.

Direct quotations in the text should have single quotation marks. The citation for direct quotes follows the end quotation mark and precedes the period. Quotations longer than three lines should be indented and do not need quotation marks. The citation for this quote follows the period.

References. Ensure that the in-text citations correspond correctly to the full citations in the References, which must appear at the end of the manuscript, in alphabetical order of first author. Examples:

Butler, J., Rotberg, R. and Adams, J. 1977. The Black Homelands of South Africa: The Political and Economic Development of Bophuthatswana and KwaZulu. Berkeley: University of California Press.
