About the journal
The Journal of African History publishes articles and book reviews ranging widely over the African past, from the late Stone Age to the present. In recent years increasing prominence has been given to economic, cultural and social history and several articles have explored themes which are also of growing interest to historians of other regions such as: gender roles, demography, health and hygiene, propaganda, legal ideology, labour histories, nationalism and resistance, environmental history, the construction of ethnicity, slavery and the slave trade, and photographs as historical sources. Contributions dealing with pre-colonial historical relationships between Africa and the African diaspora are especially welcome, as are historical approaches to the post-colonial period.

Journal of African History
The Journal of African History publishes articles and book reviews ranging widely over the African past,
from the late Stone Age to the present. The thematic range is equally broad, covering social, economic,
political, cultural and intellectual history. Many articles have explored themes which are also of growing
importance to historians of other regions such as: gender roles, demography, health and hygiene,
propaganda, legal ideology, slavery and the slave trades, labour histories, nationalism and resistance,
environmental history, the construction of ethnicity, ideas of time, and photographs as historical sources.
Contributions dealing with precolonial historical relationships between Africa and the African diaspora
are especially welcome, as are historical approaches to the post-colonial period.

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Submission of a paper will be taken to imply that it is unpublished and is not being considered for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. Authors of articles published in the journal assign copyright to Cambridge
University Press (with certain rights reserved) and you will receive a copyright assignment form for
signature on acceptance of your paper.
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.
2. Manuscript preparation
Authors may submit contributions in either English or French. They should not exceed about 7500 words
(excluding notes), except with the prior approval of the Editors. Where appropriate, carefully drawn
maps, photographs, and other illustrations should accompany the text. An abstract of the contents of the
article, not exceeding about 100 words, should be included at the head of the main text immediately after
the title and Author.
Contributors should seek clarity, brevity, and simplicity of expression and avoid long sentences and
unduly lengthy or short paragraphs. They should closely observe the conventions set out below ('Format
and Style'). Print-outs must be checked personally before despatch, to remove accidental errors.
3. Format and Style
Where possible articles should be submitted as e-mail attachments, preferably in MS Word. They should
be double spaced throughout. Lines beginning new paragraphs should be indented. Ample margins (at
least one inch left and right, one and one-half inches top and bottom) must be left, and all pages should be
numbered.
Spelling (in English) may follow either British or American convention but must be consistent. African
words and names should conform to the orthography of the International African Institute. In referring to
people, Bantu prefixes should normally be omitted: thus 'Luganda', 'Buganda', but 'a Ganda', 'the Ganda'.
Quotations of more than forty words or so should begin on a new line, indented from the left-hand
margin.
Italics should be used only for the names of publications and for words in languages other than English.
Foreign words should be used only when necessary, and then only with a translation in parentheses.
Figures should be used for units of measurement, percentages (to be shown in the form `7 per cent', not
`7%'), and any number which includes a decimal point. Spell out other numbers up to ten and multiples of
ten up to one hundred ('seven', 'twenty', but '25', '127', and '10,000'). Cite dates in the form '12 February
1968' (or 'Feb.' in source-references). Express sequences in the briefest form possible ('68-9', but '1911-
12', '1849-50').
4. Notes
Notes should be footnotes not endnotes. They should be numbered consecutively throughout the article
and typed double spaced. Citations of references should be made only in the notes and not in the text, and
there should be no separate bibliography. First references should be given in the full, thus: S. Johnson,
The History of the Yorubas (Lagos, 1921); E. W. Smith, 'Sebetwane and the Makololo', African Studies,
15 (1956), 49-74. All subsequent references should be given in abbreviated form, thus: Johnson, History,
43; Smith, 'Sebetwane', 65, except that ibid. should be used to refer to an immediately preceding citation
of a title. Loc. cit. and op. cit. should not be used. Do not abbreviate periodical titles. Archival citations
should be as brief as is consistent with clarity. The identity and location of each archive must be fully
spelled out where it is first cited.
Maps should be prepared where the topography is important for an understanding of the text. Maps
should if possible be camera-ready and show all relevant information, but only such information as is
mentioned in the text. Photographs should specifically enhance the text and carry full captions and
attributions.
5. Proofs
Typographical or factual errors only may be changed at proof stage. The publisher reserves the right to
charge authors for correction of non-typographical errors.
6. Offprints
25 offprints of each article and review article will be supplied free to the first named author. Extra copies
may be purchased from the publisher if ordered at proof stage.
