Review

postamble is a valuable and noteworthy initiative on the part of past and present graduate students of the Centre for African Studies. It brings together the substance of the Centre’s core intellectual project with the creativity, drive, and intellectual excellence of the editors, who are approaching the multi-disciplinary study of Africa in sometimes new and radical ways. As a peer-reviewed academic journal, postamble is growing from strength to strength with each new issue, and will continue to provide a useful platform from which locally and internationally emerging scholars can begin to build and shape their publication records. – Endorsed by Professor Brenda Cooper, Director of the Centre for African Studies

Volume 6.1. Agenda Africa
