I am seeking to compile figures on this year's job market in African
history and related fields for a response to Phil Curtin's article in the
Chronicle of Higher Education (March 3, 1995), entitled 'Ghettoizing
African History'.
The list below includes jobs announced this year to date. I would
appreciate information on the final status (individual appointed? search
cancelled? etc.) of any of these. I will distribute the data to all of
you when I have completed the research.
