The Journal of Modern African Studies

http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=MOA

The Journal of Modern African Studies offers a quarterly survey of
politics, economics, and related topics in contemporary Africa. The main
emphasis is upon the peoples and policies, the problems and progress of
this dynamic and disparate continent; upon the many societies that are
evolving rather than the essential characteristics of the old; and upon
the present, rather than the past.  The best current work is presented
from specialists in different academic disciplines. Editorial policy
avoids commitment to any political viewpoint or ideology, but aims at a
fair examination of controversial issues in order to promote a deeper
understanding of what is happening in Africa today.  The journal also
includes an invaluable book review section.

The Journal of Modern African Studies is now available on a new site
