History in Africa’s next issue will be a special issue in honor of David Henige, the founder of this journal. These contributions must, in line with the journal’s mission, discuss methodological dimensions of David Henige’s work, with a special attention for issues of literacy, a central theme in Henige’s work. These contributions will be published together with a selection from the papers presented at a double-panel at the 2010 Annual Conference of the African Studies Association, titled “Literacy and historical analysis revisited – Essays in honor of David Henige.”
Please note that, in order to be published in History in Africa 38 (2011) submissions must have been received before 31 January 2011. Contributors should also be prepared to follow a tight editorial production schedule in the period February-June 2011. If you are interested, please contact Jan Jansen (managing editor History in Africa) at jansenj@fsw.leidenuniv.nl
