African Arguments is the world’s most successful English language book series and blog, publishing research and long-format journalism which engages with policy work, activism and the public at large.
First published as an annual in 1978, as a postgraduate initiative out of the History department of the then University of Natal (South Africa), the Journal of Natal and Zulu History invited original interdisciplinary work on the region from historians, archaeologists, anthropologists and political economists, and review pieces on Southern Africa more broadly.
This is a call for papers and discussants for the fifteenth North Eastern Workshop on Southern Africa (NEWSA). We encourage scholars from all disciplines who are currently working on southern Africa (Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe) to submit proposals.
