AFRICA FORUM is a regular H-Africa column that features essays by, and interviews with, notable Africanists around the world. AFRICA FORUM seeks contributions from veteran and younger Africanist scholars in any field of African studies. While the usual procedure is that H-Africa's editors approach leading scholars, subscribers are encouraged to send to the editors names of anyone they feel would be prepared to contribute.
