African Studies: A Forum

Welcome to the LJ Discussion forum on topics in African Studies.

This community will discuss absolutely anything that you want to discuss on the topic of African Studies.

The first rule for this community is respect, both for the continent as well as for our members.
The second rule is to follow basic livejournal etiquette. (for example: only advertising for related communities are allowed, do not disable comments on your post, do not unnecessarily flame).

Feel free to use a variety of languages asides from English, just provide English translation if possible.


Additionally, this community unequivocally unites sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa.
