Papers in the African Humanities

Papers in the African Humanities (originally titled Discussion Papers in the African Humanities) were first published under the auspices of a three-year collaborative research project at the African Studies Center entitled “African Expressions of the Colonial Experience,” organized with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The Humanities Papers series has continued since the project ended in 1990 and, as with almost all Center publications, these papers reflect work undertaken by scholars affiliated with the African Studies Center or presented at the Center. They are available in PDF format only.
