About the journal
Africa is the premier journal devoted to the study of African societies and culture. Editorial policy encourages an interdisciplinary approach, involving humanities, social sciences, and environmental sciences. Africa aims to give increased attention to African production of knowledge, highlighting the work of local African thinkers and writers, emerging social and cultural trends 'on the ground', and links between local and national levels of society. At the same time, it maintains its commitment to the theoretically informed analysis of the realities of Africa's own cultural categories. Each issue contains six or seven major articles, arranged thematically, extensive review essays and substantial book reviews. Special issues are published annually.
Instructions to Authors

Guidelines for Contributors
The editors will receive manuscripts in English or French for publication in Africa. Contributors are asked to follow the format set out below. (If in doubt, copy the conventions in a recent article.) Manuscripts will be considered for publication on the understanding that they have neither been published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. Contributors must inform the editors if the work has been made public in another form or language.
Manuscripts should not normally exceed 8,000 words (excluding bibliography and notes). Except in the case of contributors mailing from Africa, two hard copies should be submitted along with either disk/CD-Rom or e-mail attachment (iai-africa@contacts.bham.ac.uk). E-mail attachment alone will be accepted from Africa so long as orthographic conventions are made clear wherever confusion about special symbols might arise. Files should be in Word for PC.
Word-processing
Hard copy should be in 12 pt type with double line spacing on one side of A4 (or US equivalent) size paper. Section headings should be in capitals and centred, subsection side headings italicized. Single quotation marks should be used, with double marks for any quotation within a quotation. Quotations of more than fifty words should be indented. Foreign words (except proper names) should be italicized. Dates should be in the style 23 July 1945, the 1940s, 1952¨C56. Numerals under 100 should be spelt out except percentages and specific dimensions like 6 ft 6 in.
Orthography of African languages
Citations from African languages should, where possible, follow the established orthography in the country or one of the countries involved. In the absence of an established orthography, recognized symbols must be used, preferably the ¡®Africa script¡¯ of the IAI. Details of this script can be obtained from the IAI.
Footnotes and references
Notes and references should be 12 pt and double line-spaced. Notes should be kept to a minimum, numbered consecutively and printed as endnotes. References in the text should take the form (Last 2000: Africa 70.3) with details listed in a bibliography; where more than one work by the same author is cited references should be in date order. Use letters (2000a, 2000b) for works in the same year, with no work unlettered. References in the bibliography should take the form:
Books: Barnes, S. T. 1986. Patrons and Power: creating a political community on metropolitan Lagos. Manchester: Manchester University Press, for the International African Institute.
Articles: Last, M. 2000. ¡®Children and the experience of violence: contrasting cultures of punishment in northern Nigeria¡¯, Africa 70 (3): 359¨C9 3.

Images
Tables, maps, diagrams and figures should be placed at the end of the article, each on a separate page and numbered; the number should also be written in the margin of the text to show where the table, diagram, etc., is to appear. They should be clearly and simply drawn so as to be suitable for photocopying, with no colour, shading or 3D effects. Sources must be duly acknowledged.
Photographs should be numbered and accompanied by captions, including sources. If possible, authors should submit photographs as .TIFF files, scanned at a minimum of 300 dpi and saved as a .TIFF image for PC. The final size of the scan should be approximately 250 x 200 mm. Please also supply a black and white laser print of all scans, at 100%, for identification. Authors may be asked for a subsidy towards reproduction costs.
Abstracts and contributor¡¯s biographical note
Each article should have an abstract, of not more than 200 words, for translation into French or English as the case may be. A brief biographical note about the author for the foot of the first page should also be included.
Proofs
Authors will not receive proofs. It is essential, therefore, that the article is in the form in which you wish it to appear.
Copyright
Contributors should note that copyright in all articles appearing in the journal is vested in the International African Institute. Permission to reprint an article will not normally be granted within two years of its publication.
Permissions
It is the responsibility of the author to obtain permission for any previously published material.
