The editors (Mariana Candido, University of Notre Dame; Toyin Falola, University of Texas at Austin; Jennifer Lofkrantz, Saint Mary's College of California; and Paul E. Lovejoy, York University) welcome submissions in English or French from all disciplines that relate to the economic history of African societies from precolonial times to the present. Essays in a variety of fields and time periods are welcomed, on themes that may include but are not limited to:
  • Labor
  • Slavery and the slave trade
  • Short- and long-distance trade and commercial networks
  • Economic transformations
  • Colonialism and Post-Colonialism
  • Migration
  • Development policies
  • Social and economic inequalities
  • Poverty

In addition, AEH also considers submissions for thematic special issues.
       African Economic History was founded in 1974 by the African Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin and has subsequently been associated with the Harriet Tubman Institute for Research on Africa and its Diasporas, York University. The journal publishes research on all aspects of Africa’s economic past, including its historiography, and focuses on recent economic change as well as colonial and pre-colonial themes. Its audience includes historians, economists, anthropologists, sociologists, political scientists, policymakers, and a range of other scholars interested in the African present and past.

The Exchange is changing platforms! Please read to continue receiving our messages [working links]

  Dear subscribers to The Exchange: I am happy to announce that our blog is moving platforms. For almost a decade, the Business History Conference has used Blogger to publish and archive posts. However, in early 2021, the blogging site announced that their email serving service would be terminated. In addition, we noticed that many of our subscribers had stopped receiving the blog’s emails, and our subscription provides very limited reporting. In agreement, the Electronic Media Oversight Committee , web administrator Shane Hamilton, and web editor Paula de la Cruz-Fernández decided to move our web blog from Blogger to our website . We now write to you to request that if you wish to continue receiving announcements from the BHC, please subscribe here: https://thebhc.org/subscribe-exchange   Interested people will be asked to log into their BHC’s account or open one, free.
