Aims & Scope

CJAS aims to improve knowledge and awareness of Africa as well as the problems and aspirations of its people, to inform Canadian policy on and in Africa, and to generate public interest in the study and understanding of Africa in Canada.

CJAS publishes articles in the areas of anthropology/ethnography, political science, history, sociology, literature, human geography, and development.

We encourage an inter/multi-disciplinary approach.

The journal does not consider papers in quantitative development or economics, or papers on education, social work, public policy analysis or literary criticism.

In addition to original research papers, the journal publishes Commentaries that cover current issues.

Sometimes the journal includes Research Notes which permit contributors to present research in progress on African topics.

The book review and review essay section provide critiques of recent books and reports on Africa in general and on individual countries.
