Announcing a new series:
Routledge Global Africa Textbooks provide undergraduate and postgraduate students with the perfect introduction to the study of Africa. Covering a diverse range of topics, including media, politics, history, decoloniality, gender, economics, business, religion, literature, philosophy, and the diaspora, the textbooks in this series are accessible and engaging, packed full of insights from across the continent.
Textbooks in this series are intended to be concise and student-friendly, suitable for use in a single semester. In addition to the student market, we also anticipate use amongst more general readers- anyone looking for a good introduction to the subject. The upper wordcount limit is 200,000, but we encourage shorter submissions as well. We would prefer a large number of shorter chapters that can be quickly and easily digested to a lower number of long and digressive chapters. The textbooks can be authored or co-authored, but the series avoids edited textbooks, in order to maintain a consistent narrative arc across the length of the textbook. When preparing proposal submissions, authors are encouraged to reflect on the diversity to be found across the entire continent, avoiding regional bias (unless working on a specifically regional textbook such as The History of West Africa).
To submit proposals, and for any questions about the series more generally, please contact Routledge's African Studies Editor, Helena Hurd (helena.hurd@tandf.co.uk), or series editor Professor Toyin Falola (toyinfalola@austin.utexas.edu).
