Aims and scope
African and Black Diaspora is a multi-disciplinary peer-reviewed international journal that seeks to broaden and deepen our understanding of the lived experiences of people of African descent across the globe by publishing theoretically and historically informed as well as empirically grounded works in the social sciences and humanities that are intellectually challenging and illuminating.

The aim of the journal is to advance the analytical and interrogative discourse that constitutes the distinctive field of African diaspora studies in the production of knowledge by focusing on issues such as power, knowledge, gender, race and other forms of social identity. It seeks to encourage the study of the African diaspora through an inter-disciplinary and comparative framework that illuminates the state of the broad field in critical ways.

The journal publishes research articles, book reviews, essays and discussions, with a mix of regular and special theme issues. Poetry and fictional works may be considered for certain special issues. Individuals who are interested to Guest Edit special issues should download the Special Issue proposal form and submit their completed form via email to the Editor-in-Chief, Dr Martin L. Boston.
