JAMH Call for Papers Journal of African Military History - Special Issue: New Histories of the Southern African Liberation Struggles The intertwined wars to bring majority-rule to the Southern African states are rightfully understood in African history both as the triumphs of pan-African solidarity and complex events that interwove both local struggles for authority and global ideological competition. Initial nationalist histories traced the rise and political activities of the liberation fronts while more global views explored the cooperation of African actors with international patrons such as Russia, China, and Cuba in their attempts to leverage Cold War dynamics in an effort to attain their freedom. These often ultimately proved to be more official histories that played up the successes of the liberation struggles against the white redoubt countries as well as the international and Pan-African cooperation that allowed these successes  However, the past decade has seen the continued expansion of historical inquiry into these conflicts. Both on the continent and abroad, critical archives have been opened and their documentation being woven into the historical narratives of the conflicts, such as the emergent work on the ALCORA exercises by Robert McNamara and Felipe Rebeiro de Meneses. Access to a plethora of previously unreachable or forgotten interview subjects has established new narratives of the struggles themselves, such as in the works of Joanne MacGregor, Joceylyn Alexander, Christian Williams, or Marc Thomas Howard. Topics that had not previous been studied in a systemic way, such as African participation in the struggles against the liberation fronts or the logistics of sustaining the far-flung struggles, have been explored, establishing new bodies of knowledge about these complex conflicts. Simply put, while there have been published historical narratives and knowledge about these struggles since the days of their waging, newer work has both enhanced and expanded on these early publications and there remains more new scholarship emerging. The intent of this special issue is continuing these efforts and publishing new scholarly perspectives on the planning, waging, and inherited narratives of the struggles for the final liberation of Africa while at the same time uncovering varied aspects of these intertwined conflicts which have received little or no previous scholarly attention We are particularly interested in contributions exploring the following topics regarding either side of the conflict: - Internal alliances and military cooperation; - Operational planning and direct military engagements; - Recruitment, mobilization and manpower; - Veterans and demobilization; - Labor, industry and sustainment of the struggles; - Gender, masculinity, and the role of women; - Resistance, political activism and interment; - Propaganda, espionage and counterintelligence; - External connections and interactions; - Legacy, commemoration and historical memory; The special issue will consider articles submitted in English. If you are interested in proposing a paper on these or any other topics, please contact Dr Charles Thomas (charles.thomas.40@au.af.edu) or Dr. Bafumiki Mocheregwa (bafumiki.mocheregwa@usm.edu).  Abstracts should be submitted by 30 November 2025, with completed essays due by 31 April 2026.

Call for Presentation Abstracts:Towards the CAA 114th Annual Conference (18-21 Feb. 2026), we now welcome the submission of presentation abstracts for the session “Methodological Approaches to Researching Modern Art by African Women Artists.” —Session convened remotely—Session Chairs:Nomusa Makhubu (Michaelis School of Fine Art at the University of Cape Town), and Claudia Marion Stemberger (Department of Art History at the University of Delaware)Session Abstract:The rise of the contemporary in both research and exhibitions of African visual art and material culture has gained significant traction, placing the historically marginalized study of women artists in twentieth-century Africa at a crossroads. The recent growth in online resources pertaining to global modern art, such as biographical notes by AWARE and contextual essays from the MoMA, has helped to reevaluate the narratives surrounding African women artists of the twentieth century. Surveys on African women artists have proposed that gendered practices are multifaceted (Blackmun Visonà 2021), while also underlining the challenges posed by “incongruent methodological approaches to how that gendered history is constructed” (Makhubu 2020). This has opened opportunities to transform research methodologies and fieldwork strategies. In moving forward, however, despite ongoing reflections on the current state of the field (African Arts 2017 & 2024) and revised trajectories of African modernisms (Critical Interventions 2019), there remains a paucity of directions in the analysis of modern art by individual African women artists. The panel discusses methodological innovations and case studies that underpin novel scholarship on women’s artistic production among twentieth-century African art historiography. The scope encompasses accounts of recent shifts and envisioning future inquiry, especially in respect of Africa-centered perspectives. By engaging in debates about the de/canonization of art historical knowledges, this panel illuminates the previously underrepresented histories of African women artists. Timeline:Proposal submission deadline: 29 August 2025Notification of acceptance: 16 September 2025 Submission Guidelines:Prepare your presentation title and abstract (250 words), in addition to your shortened CV (~2 pages).

Translation Networks in the Decolonising World, 1950s–1970sKing's College, University of Cambridge | 24–25 April 2026 The 1950s to the 1970s was a transformative period marked by anticolonial struggles, national independences, and non-aligned solidarities across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. These groundbreaking political shifts went hand-in-hand with profound cultural and ideological exchanges across continents. Central to these exchanges were translation networks—dynamic, often informal systems through which ideas filtered across linguistic and national boundaries. These networks not only facilitated the dissemination of anticolonial and more broadly revolutionary thought, but also helped forge new identities and solidarities in a bipolarised world. From clandestine literature, revolutionary manifestos, political speeches, to broadcasting and print journalism, translation operated as an essential tool for decolonisation. Yet, despite their significance, these translation networks remain underexplored. This conference seeks to shed light on the multifaceted role of translation in the decolonising world between the 1950s and 1970s. It seeks to examine how translation—whether cultural or linguistic, diplomatic or political—served as a bridge for ideas, theories, and strategies that fueled anticolonial struggles, fostered regional solidarities, and contributed to the dissemination of counterhegemonic discourses. This conference seeks to redress narratives that often overlook translation’s role in shaping political and cultural transformation by foregrounding the networks of translation that enabled dialogue between communities, intellectuals, and revolutionary movements. It aims to explore how translation practices facilitated the circulation of anti-colonial ideas, shaped notions of identity and sovereignty, and influenced the formation of new political and cultural realities in the decolonising world. We invite proposals for papers of relevance to the subject of the conference, which might include considerations of: The role of translation in the dissemination of anticolonial thought; The translation of revolutionary texts (e.g., manifestos, poetry, political speeches, print journalism) as well as oral traditions and indigenous knowledge that supported anticolonial narratives; The role of translation as a tool for transnational and transcontinental solidarity; The role of transnational and transcontinental alliances (e.g., the Non-Aligned Movement) in facilitating ideological exchanges and collaborations; The role of translation in national, transnational, and transcontinental conferences, festivals, and organisations; The translation and/or adaptation, reinterpretation, and dissemination of Afro-Asianism, Marxism, nationalism, Pan-Africanism, and/or Pan-Arabism; The influence of radio, print, and emerging broadcasting or recording technologies in spreading anticolonial ideas in translation; The role and agency of individual translators in establishing transnational and transcontinental connections; Comparative perspectives on the intersection of translation and decolonisation in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The conference will be in-person at King’s College, University of Cambridge. To submit a proposal, please include in one document the following information: proposals for 20-minute papers (300 words), paper title, and participant(s) biography (100 words). Please submit proposals by e-mail to Georgia Nasseh (gsn25 [at] cam.ac.uk). The deadline for submissions is 15 October 2025.
