Journal Details
Safundi
The Journal of South African and American Studies
Instructions for Authors
Safundi: The Journal of South African and American Studies is a peer-reviewed quarterly academic journal that analyses the United States and South Africa from an international, transnational, and/or comparative perspective and seeks to understand each country in relation to the other.
Although new comparative and transnational research forms the core of the journal, Safundi also publishes articles specifically addressing one country, provided the research is of interest to an international audience. The Editorial Board will consider submissions relating to other countries in southern Africa and the Americas, as well as to other parts of the world that allow for broader comparative insights.
Articles that Safundi publishes are academic in nature. Intelligent, exploratory essays are also welcomed. We encourage interdisciplinary perspectives on a wide range of topics. Contributions should generally be 7,000 to 12,000 words, including footnotes, references, tables and figures, but the editors will consider submissions of any length. Although most Safundi reviews are solicited, the editors will consider unsolicited reviews. The reviewed work should appear at the top of the submission. Safundi very rarely publishes previously printed material.
