Book Series with Ohio University Press
Along with Ohio University Press, the Cambridge Centre of African Studies Series publishes work that emanates from our rich intellectual life. Many of our books have resulted from the Centre’s weekly seminar series and from other workshops and events. Several of our Visiting Fellows have published their work in this book series and many of the books reflect collaboration between scholars based in Africa and Cambridge-based academics.
The aim of the series is to foster dialogue across a broad range of disciplines in African studies and between scholars based in Africa and elsewhere. We are especially interested in receiving book proposals for inter-disciplinary work. Most of the books have been edited collections, but occasionally we publish single or multi-authored monographs.
If you are interested in publishing with us, please contact one of the series editors below. More information about Cambridge Centre of African Studies Book Series can also be found at Ohio University Press/Swallow Press.
Editor(s)
Dr Devon Curtis, University of Cambridge
Dr Mike Degani, University of Cambridge
Prof Emma Hunter, University of Edinburgh
