II. Scope & Description

Critical African Studies seeks to return Africanist scholarship to the heart of theoretical innovation within each of its constituent disciplines including Anthropology Political Science Sociology History Law and Economics.We offer authors a more flexible publishing platform than other journals allowing them greater space to develop empirical discussions alongside theoretical and conceptual engagements. We aim to publish scholarly articles that offer both innovative empirical contributions grounded in original fieldwork and also innovative theoretical engagements. This speaks to our broader intention to promote the deployment of thorough empirical work for the purposes of sophisticated theoretical innovation.We invite contributions that meet the aims of the journal including special issue proposals that offer fresh empirical and theoretical insights into African Studies debates.
