VOICES is a biannually published forum for exploring issues of written and oral artistic production in Africa and the Diaspora in relation to the continent. Submissions that stretch and challenge such disciplinary boundaries are welcome and will be considered for publication. We invite submissions from writers worldwide in all languages of Africa (as well as English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, German, etc.). Voices is complemented by a web site (http://african.lss.wisc.edu/all/voices/voices.htm) with the aim of cultivating a broad readership and interactive academic network, and appears in June and December of each year.

Call for Papers
We invite the submission of articles, essays, book reviews of recently published works, translations, renderings of oral narratives, and original creative works (short stories, poetry, art, drama). VOICES will not consider works that are simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Send 4 copies of typed, double-spaced manuscript up to 30 pages; include one copy of a 100-150 word abstract (in English & in the language of the submission). Please remove author’s name from 3 of the 4 copies. If the work is accepted, we will request a copy of the submission on 3.5 floppy disk and a 1-paragraph biography of the author. Upcoming deadline for submissions: 1 October 2000.
Deadline for fifth issue: 1 February 2001.
