H-Horn aims to facilitate scholarly collaboration and exchanges between professionals interested in the history and culture of the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea region. One of the primary objectives of H-Horn is to reach beyond national, sub-national, religious and ethnic lines and offer all scholars of the Horn a forum in which to address major issues and controversies that have defined, and continue to define, the history of the Horn of Africa, particularly in recent decades.

CFP ASA 2014: New trends on Studies of the Horn

Submitted by Brian Yates on Monday, March 3, 2014

Greetings fellow Horn of Africa scholars,

Are you attempting to break from established lenses into the History/Anthropology/Sociology/Literature/Art (or any other discipline) of the Horn of Africa? Would you like to celebrate past scholars on the subject? Here is your opportunity to do both! As many of us have experienced, discussions on the Horn often become tenuous. Our idea is to have a roundtable that simultaneously celebrates many of the earlier generations of Western trained scholars on the Horn of Africa who have either retired or who are no longer with us and introduce new lenses into the study of this complex and important region. We are looking for two or more scholars of the Horn of Africa to join our roundtable panel.

It was conceived as early as 1994; the intensive preparation started in 1997 and the actual coordination and editorial activity began in Hamburg in 1999.
