"Five essays that seek to examine the challenges that women face in African studies scholarly publishing, and which aims to offer insights “into the shifting, intellectual, institutional, and ideological contexts and contests in African studies, as practiced in Africa and the North, by men and wom ... en, and among women themselves who are united by their gender as they are separated by the politics of race, resources, and location.” The book attempts to do three things: first, analyze the patterns and prospects of women’s scholarly publishing in the mainstream media in both Africa and the North; second, outline the development of women’s presses and other publishing initiatives; and, third, examine the growth and politics of feminist scholarship in each of, and across, the two regions."

"A collection of papers on academic journal publishing and scholarly communication in Africa, which aims to provide a better understanding of the nature, role, current status, and future prospects of journals in the African context.
