English in Africa (EA)
Journal Descriptions
English in Africa is a scholarly academic journal founded in 1974 and published by the Institute for the Study of the Englishes of Africa (ISEA) at Rhodes University in Makhanda, South Africa. It is dedicated to research on the English language and English‑language writing in the African context, including original scholarship on African writing, linguistic studies, oral traditions, translations, and literary criticism. The journal emphasizes the cultural, historical, and literary dimensions of English in Africa, often preferring historical modes of inquiry and the recovery of under‑researched literary materials. It welcomes peer‑reviewed articles, critical reviews, book reviews, editorials, and tributes that contribute to deeper understanding of African English usages and literature. English in Africa is published three times a year (tri‑annually) and is available in both print and electronic formats through academic libraries and databases such as JSTOR, EBSCO, Gale, Sabinet Online, African Journals Online (AJOL), and ProQuest. Its readership includes scholars, researchers, and students in African literature, linguistics, postcolonial studies, and related humanities disciplines. Over its decades of publication, the journal has built a reputation for scholarly rigor and sustained contribution to the study of English language and literature in Africa.
