Call for Book Reviews for Ìrìnkèrindò: a Journal of African Migration

Ìrìnkèrindò: a Journal of African Migration is inviting book reviews that appeal to our global audience. Reviews of academic books as well as relevant fiction and non-fiction that relates to African migration are welcomed!

Since 2002, Ìrìnkèrindò: a Journal of African Migration — a peer-reviewed, open access journal — has provided a forum for scholarly articles of the highest quality. The journal documents the relevance of African migration to the world’s social, political and economic, and cultural systems as well as its historical effects on culture; it responds to the debates on migration and problematizes its assumed effects. It also generates debate among scholars and intellectuals of African migration, demographers, and African migrants themselves. It seeks to myth-bust and raise the level of conversation around the impacts and contributions that stem from African migration.

The editors welcome original and insightful book reviews that focus on topics and issues that would appeal to an interdisciplinary audience. Book reviewers may review books pertaining to African migration, including African Diaspora, mixed migration, immigration policy and the law, politics, refugees and asylum seekers, forced migration, children and youth migration, remittances, poetry, geography, migration history, borderlands, research and methodology, public health, economics, human security, climate change, gender, (social) integration, ageing and generation dynamics, as well as other related subjects.

Reviews can range in length from 500 to 1,500 words. Please refer to the IJAM Style Guide for more detailed guidelines.

Submissions by members of all underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged.
