Africa is one of those rare journals that manages to combine the best of research from different disciplines along with really innovative new thinking. It defines, shapes, and infuses the broad field of African Studies with intellectual fervor and excitement. An indispensable journal for anyone working in the field.
Professor Ato Quayson, University of Toronto

The journal is a rare source of excellent scholarship. Africa is not merely another venue for research and academic debate; it has become the place where the terms of such knowledge are set. The breadth and depth of the contributions bespeak the intellectual ambition of contributors and readers.
Professor Christian Lund, Roskilde University, Denmark

I don't believe there is a more valued and prestigious journal publishing scholarship on Africa, recognized both for its historic centrality and for the quality and significance of what is has been publishing in most recent years.

Over the past decade or so the special numbers of the journal reflect an extraordinary range of topics and themes, in turn suggesting the journal's capacity to contribute in a central way to the re-invention of the study of Africa.

The editorial team have made the journal a site where one finds the most innovative work stretching across disciplinary boundaries.
Professor David Cohen, University of Michigan

Both Africa and the IAL monograph series remain world-leading fora for original, significant, thoroughly-researched material in humanities and social sciences on Africa. Supplemented by the crucial research tool, Africa Bibliography, this trio represents the continuing strength in depth of the International African Institute. Any Africanist worth his or her salt has to keep an eye on what is coming out in Africa
Professor Graham Furniss, SOAS, University of London

The strength of Africa lies in its comprehensiveness, and its genuine connection to the continent. It publishes high-quality articles by international scholars of Africa from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds. But it also pays attention to local debates, features short memoirs, and gives biographical information about important figures in politics and culture. The book reviews are excellent. The journal's international and cosmopolitan feel is underpinned by a genuine on-the-ground sense of what is going on, in a variety of countries. Whether you are a scholar of theatre, political economy, environment or religion, you will find something in it to intrigue you.
Professor Deborah James, London School of Economics

Anthropology in general, as well as Africanist anthropology in particular, is in deep need of a journal like Africa, which, apart from its historical and deserved reputation, always provides fresh interpretations grounded in fieldwork: the combination in each article of theoretical insights and empirical findings is its winning formula.
Professor Jean-Pierre Olivier de Sardan, School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences, France
