About the Journal

International Journal of African Studies (IJAFRS) is an international peer-reviewed open access journal published biannually by SvedbergOpen. It is committed to producing and using knowledge to empower and strengthen Africa, its people, and its Diaspora. The journal covers multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches in examining the African Renaissance and the repositioning of Africa within the world system.

Its fundamental purpose is to create a forum for the exchange of ideas between African intellectuals of different convictions and disciplines. It is also open to other researchers working on Africa and those engaged in comparative studies on the Third World.

IJAFRS operates a double-blind reviewing policy in which the anonymity of authors to reviewers and reviewers to authors will be ensured so as to make the review process unbiased.
