History in Africa (HiA) is an international, peer-reviewed, academic journal that publishes original research articles and critical commentaries of interest to those who study the history of Africa and its diasporic communities. For over fifty years, HiA has driven debates about sources and methods in the field of African history, publishing innovative work which has influenced other disciplines. HiA seeks submissions that provide new insights into source materials and methods or critical reflections on themes in the existing scholarship or emerging fields of inquiry. These might include the documentation and description of new historical materials and archives (including those not normally engaged with by historians), new insights into and critical assessment of well-studied sources, and novel methodological approaches to historical questions. We want to publish new interpretations and arguments that drive forward historical investigation.
