Aims and Scope

The aim of the Journal of Namibian Studies - History Politics Culture (ISSN 1863-5954) is to make available to an academic audience around the world scholarly work and groundbreaking and original research of high standards in English. The journal is inter- and transdisciplinary and covers the humanities and the social sciences. As such it seeks to serve as an interface between local and international Namibianist scholars. The main objective is to ensure that debate on Namibia-related issues, for which there is generally no adequate Namibian forum, is accessible both within Namibia and internationally.

Articles submitted for publication will be thoroughly and anonymously peer-reviewed. There are two issues per year, scheduled to be released towards the end of each half-year. Each issue contains four or five major articles and substantial book reviews
