Call for papers for the Cahiers d’histoire: Looking back at the African Lefts.  Deadline 15 February.

Abstract: This call for papers from Cahiers d’histoire. Revue d’histoire critique focuses on left-wing activism in Africa, particularly that which can be considered as revolutionary, underpinned by anti-colonialism and anti-imperialism, from the 1960s, with access to independence, to the 1990s, with the implementation of a multi-party system and the imposition of structural adjustment policies. The aim is to shed light on histories that are often overlooked in academic literature, because they were often lived underground, during the long periods when post-colonial states prohibited multipartyism de facto or de jure. Priority will therefore be given to studies that provide new elements or develop an innovative approach to existing knowledge, whether in contemporary African political history or Africanist political science.

For the full call for papers, contact: martinmourre@hotmail.com and bianchini@gmx.fr. Papers may be in English or French.
