H-West-Africa is dedicated to enhancing research, service, and
teaching in the field on the region of West Africa: its history, culture,
science and development. It seeks to bring together -- for purposes of
discussion, exchange of information, the conduct and dissemination of
research, and sharing on information and data about teaching and learning
-- students, scholars, professionals, intellectuals, and others throughout
the world who are interested in the past, present and future of West
Africa and the enhancement of knowledge and understanding about the
region. It will seek to develop resources for the enhancement of that
knowledge and understanding everywhere, but particularly in West Africa
and around West African institutions of higher education.

In the coming years H-West-Africa will also play a significant role
in disseminating information about establishing connectivity systems which
permit e-mail and Internet access to more and more participants in West
Africa, with the best quality and the lowest cost. The discussions and information will be expressed in two languages: English and French. The editors will make appropriate brief summaries of information in the other language, as well as providing table of contents for each set of communications (weekly digest, bi-weekly digest, etc.). H-West-Africa is sponsored by the African Studies Center, Michigan State University; the West African Research Association (Secretariat at the University of Wisconsin, Madison), and the West African Research Center (headquartered in Dakar). It is advised by a board of scholars.
