Call for Book Reviewers for the Leeds African Studies Bulletin

Date

You may have noticed that our journal, the Leeds African Studies Bulletin has recently moved to a digital, online format, helping us to quickly publish scholarly articles, book reviews and opinion pieces that are easily accessible and free to access.

We will publish under 5 categories: Studying Africa, Analysing Africa, Imagining Africa, Reading Africa and Remembering Africa.

Reading Africa will be dedicated to reviews or discussions of major publications, both scholarly and literary, that are relevant to African studies. LUCAS is seeking book reviewers to write for our website. We have a list of books that are currently available to review. These books are available on a 'first come, first served' basis. If you would like to request a book to review, please send a list of up to 3 books that you would be willing to review, along with some information about your work. The books are yours to keep after completing your review.
