2017 and 2020 mark the 60th anniversaries of independence from British colonial rule in Ghana (1957) and Nigeria (1960). In honor of these momentous occasions, the Journal for West African History (JWAH), published by Michigan State University Press, invites scholars to submit papers that commemorate the 60th anniversaries of the independence of Ghana or Nigeria. We are particularly interested in papers that speak to the aspirations, achievements, setbacks, and problems associated with independence and its aftermath. Please see submission guidelines for detailed expectations. Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://ojs.msupress.msu.edu/index.php/JWAH/about/submissions The deadline for the receipt of papers is April 30, 2018. All articles will undergo a double blind peer review, and those accepted for publication will appear in a special issue of JWAH, volume 5, issue 2, scheduled for publication in October 2019.
The Journal of West African History (JWAH) is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed research journal that publishes the highest quality articles on West African history. Located at the cutting edge of new scholarship on the social, cultural, economic, and political history of West Africa, JWAH fills a representational gap by providing a forum for serious scholarship and debate on women and gender, sexuality, slavery, oral history, popular and public culture, and religion. The editorial board encourages authors to explore a wide range of topical, theoretical, methodological, and empirical perspectives in new and exciting ways. The journal is committed to rigorous thinking and analysis; is international in scope; and offers a critical intervention about knowledge production. Scholarly reviews of current books in the field appear in every issue. And the publication is in both English and French; an abstract in both languages is provided.

This Monday, join us for a lecture by Ibrahim Sundiata on “Trump, Oil and Jesse: African Americans and the Lure of Black Gold.”
On October 11th, 2017, WARA and Boston Unviersity’s African Studies Center had the pleasure of welcoming Professor Aliou Cissé Niang, of Union Theological Seminary, to discuss his paper “Religious Messengers and Identity Construction in the Bible and Diola Faith Traditions.”
Religious messengers have the power to effect change, shape community identity and innovate their respective faith traditions–for good or ill. Transcending the historical, cultural and linguistic distance, the religious messages of the Apostle Paul and Aline Sitoé Diatta, a West African Diola religious leader, depict them in such a role. This paper reads four poems of Aline Sitoé Diatta who created and inspired a communion of equals under the watchful eyes of imperial France.
This lecture is a part of the ongoing lecture series hosted by WARA, “Religion in West Africa.” Learn more by checking out other videos on our channel and subscribe for the latest! Find out more about WARA here: http://www.bu.edu/wara/about/

WARA is proud of the accomplishments Dr. Fallou Ngom has made in his efforts to increase research on Ajami, the Arabic script that is adopted to many African languages as a form of written communication over many centuries. His latest book, Muslims beyond the Arab World: The Odyssey of Ajami and the Muridiyya (Oxford University Press, 2016), has been named the most important scholarly work in African studies at this year’s African Studies Association 60th Annual Conference held at the Chicago Marriott Downtown in Chicago, Il. It is this work in particular that had Ngom named the awardee of the prestigious Melville J. Herskovits Prize.
