Call for Papers 

 

The Somaliland Journal of African Studies (SJAS) seeks to shed light onto the political landscape of Africa – material, immaterial, and otherwise. It looks to publish original academic research into political regimes, modes of government, configurations of extraction and production, political imaginaries, and the sociocultural inflections of these phenomena. Submissions are accepted, hence, from a broad spectrum of disciplines, spanning from philosophy, history, political science, and international relations, to sociology and anthropology.

 

The Editorial Board of the SJAS is now receiving articles for its second issue due for publication on May 2015.
