ABOUT THE SERIES

Whose experiences shape theory?
Which futures become possible?

Bring a new book to the series ↗

This series examines economic, social and institutional change across African contexts. It encompasses development, enterprise, work, governance, education, technology and community life, with attention to historical trajectories and regional diversity. Contributions should engage substantively with African scholarship and contexts, treating African experiences as sources of theoretical insight rather than merely settings for applying established frameworks.

For scholars and practitioners engaging substantively with African contexts, regional diversity and the contributions of African scholarship.
