Featured Series


New African Histories

Ohio University Press

Since its founding in 2004, New African Histories has redefined the field of African history. Books in this series bring the practice of history to unlikely places, ask unsettling questions, and adopt unorthodox methodologies. We welcome history written “from below,” but we also encourage work from other angles: histories of therapies; forms and aesthetics; political traditions; and technologies that are less frequently the subject of historical analysis.
