Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism Call for Review Articles
The Impact of Colonial Legacies on Ethnic Violence in Africa
Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism (SEN) is currently seeking authors to write a review on the current state of the literature about the impact of colonial legacies on ethnic violence in Africa. Possible review topics include questions such as:
1. How did colonial bureaucracies differ in their impact on inter-ethnic relationships?
2. Has colonialism altered long-term state-society relationships in Africa?
3. To what extent is the current economic and political development of African countries a direct outcome of colonial legacies?
4. Which, if any, aspect of colonialism – such as institutional design, economic or cultural policies – can be said to have increased the risk of ethnic violence in particular?
The review is intended for publication in SEN, vol. 11, no. 1 (2011). The deadline for submission of finished review articles is 15 October 2010. As articles will be peer reviewed before editing and publication, early submission is greatly appreciated.
This call for submission is part of SEN’s initiative to broaden the scope of reviews carried in the journal. SEN invites scholars to submit review articles of 3,000-4,000 words, covering between three and five volumes related to a specific topic. The aim is to provide an overview of the present state of the literature concerning important issues covered by the journal.
Reviewers are free to choose the titles they think most suitable to the topic and the aims of the journal, though only reviews covering volumes published within the last ten years will be considered for publication. Please forward suggestions for reviews along with any questions or queries to the SEN book review editors at sen.reviews@lse.ac.uk.
