The incoming editorial team invite you to submit your manuscript for their inaugural volume History in Africa. Read the journal style guide and submit by August 1. Articles selected for publication will be included in the 2026 volume of History in Africa. 

With new methodological directions emerging in histories of Africa, the Americas, and the Atlantic and Indian ocean realms, we seek to invite work that further integrates these fields into the purview of this esteemed journal. Whether using archeology as a means of identifying under-documented Atlantic crossings, reconstructing African culture traditions by way of scattered traces in diasporic communities, or identifying new themes emerging in documents beyond the European archive, we seek submissions that articulate methods and research agendas that map global connections and collapse unidirectional theories of historical influence.

We are particularly interested in submissions that:

• Articulate innovations and challenges of archives and methods within African diasporic histories
• Develop approaches that trace the methods of African history into those of World history
• Highlight the unique breadth of diasporic methods for a global vision of African history
• Transform our scholarly debates rather than rehash them
