The humanities have a particular stake in open access. African literature, history, philosophy, and language scholarship are frequently written about the continent from outside it, and priced beyond the reach of the universities that hold the primary sources. Diamond open access — free to read and free to publish — has taken root here faster than in most fields.
This hub collects open scholarship across literature, history, cultural studies, media, and the arts, with attention to African-led journals and the questions of language and archive that shape the discipline.
