Northeast African Studies 20, Nos. 1-2

This biannual interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal publishes high-quality original research in the social sciences and the humanities on the Horn of Africa and its neighbours. The region covers primarily Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, South Sudan, Djibouti, and Somalia/Somaliland. It includes articles from a range of academic disciplines including history, anthropology, political science, sociology, religion, environmental studies, literature, and the arts.

The editors seek contributions that rethink established debates and paradigms in the field, that address issues with comparative implications for scholars working in other parts of the world, or that draw on new source materials and disciplinary methodologies. They are highly interested in studies adopting transnational, transregional, and comparative perspectives as well as a regional approach to Northeast Africa that transcends the conventional borders of individual countries.

Studies that explore the region’s broader interactions with the Red Sea and Indian Ocean areas, the adjacent Arabian Peninsula, relevant Trans-Saharan connections, or that converse with global history approaches are particularly welcome.
