Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on historical scholarship concerning colonialism, postcolonialism, and contemporary conflicts, particularly in Africa. It examines the legacies of colonial practices, including the acquisition and restitution of ancestral remains, the impact of colonial ideologies on social structures, and the role of ethnological studies. The journal also addresses issues of political upheaval, armed conflict, and social transformation in postcolonial states, with a notable emphasis on Mozambique and South Africa. Furthermore, it explores themes of memory, identity, resistance, and the intersection of history with various forms of cultural production, including film, literature, and museum curation.
