Call for Papers

Do you want to make a difference and contribute to the success of the Africa Knowledge Project, an online educational resource on Africa and its Diaspora?

The Africa Knowledge Project was started to address the large gaps of inaccurate documentation and representation of Africa, and its people. We do that by publishing peer-reviewed journals and curated subject databases that highlight some of the best research in the field.

Going against the Euro-American standard knowledge production that represents Western world-views and research interpretations as central and global, we move to a holistic approach that places Africa at the center of its own knowledge-producing activities.

We insist on using ideas, concepts, bodies of thoughts that are centrifugally Africa-based to theorize it. We unearth, publish, and highlight amazing researchers who are doing critical work in gender, culture, philosophy, politics, art, music, language, the Biafran war (Nigerian Civil War), and all the areas that are West Africa.

We are seeking submissions for The 400 Year Rage. The project was started in the aftermath of the brutal murder of George Floyd by the four officers of the Minneapolis Police Department. Black women are not exempt from these extrajudicial murders by the police, as the cases of Breonna Taylor, Atatiana Jefferson, Sandra Bland, Deborah Danner, and others illustrate.
 
The project aims to bring a diverse set of voices on racism, inequality, police brutality and killing, and the historical processes that produce and perpetuates violence against black and brown people.

Issues of Our Time on Nafisatou Diallo

Deadline: November 13, 2011

JENdA: A Journal of Culture and African Women Studies

The case of Nafissatou Diallo has generated visceral reactions and heated discussions worldwide. A poor immigrant hotel worker allegedly raped by one of the most powerful men in the world, the director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Dominique Strauss-Kahn. As the shocking story of race, class, gender, and sexuality unfolded, we witnessed an intense media campaign to discredit Ms. Diallo by dredging up all manner of attacks that exploited racial, class, gender, and sexual stereotypes. To salvage the integrity of the powerful alleged rapist, the credibility of the poor lowly immigrant victim must be destroyed.
