NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT
Cambridge Studies on the African Diaspora

Cambridge Studies on the African Diaspora welcomes submissions of book 
proposals that place the experiences of African-descended communities 
within contexts of transnational, transregional, and transcultural 
exchange. Books in the series will coalesce around the transformation of 
culture, politics, ideas, and social relations associated with persons 
moving in any number of directions to and from Africa, and will include 
studies of relations between African-descended communities and other 
ethnic and cultural communities. While continuing to acknowledge the 
salience of the Atlantic World, the series views the African Diaspora as 
far-reaching, with many spatial and temporal configurations that include 
the experiences of African-descended populations in the worlds of the 
Mediterranean and Red Seas, the Indian Ocean, and cross-regional space 
within Africa itself. As such, the series pursues a more thoroughgoing 
and capacious vision of the history and substance of the African 
Diaspora. Examples of rubrics especially welcome include: The Black 
Experience(s) in the Persian Gulf; Globally Dispersed Communities of 
Faith; North African-West African Relations in France/Europe; the Global 
Lusophone World; Ethnic/Racial Complexities in the Caribbean; and 
Asian-African Solidarities/Divergences in the UK. While the series will 
consider interdisciplinary approaches, and is inclusive of scholarship 
pertaining to more recent as well as earlier formations of diasporic 
communities, its focus is the expansion and elaboration of the Africa 
Diaspora as a historical process.
