African & African Diaspora Studies

Africa and the African diaspora are often topics of the books in our fields of publication. We have gathered them here for those interested in seeing what the critical mass looks like. We publish archaeology, anthropology, heritage studies, history and sociology of interest to Africanists and African diaspora researhers. There is also a sizeable body of ork on Egyptology. We welcome additional projects in this area.
