A new era begins for the journal, which will from this issue be led by cohorts of editorial collectives, appointed for cycles of three–five years, as is increasingly the pattern for humanities journals. Read long-time editor Carli Coetzee's editorial:

Looking for an end of year poetry read, @BakwaBooks got you. Nineteen Ways of Looking at Awono is a poetic contemplation of heterogeneity and translation, which pushes the boundaries of discourse on literary translation.

The editors support @awenengo, whose work is being unfairly instrumentalized for political ends: tinyurl.com/26dyp6sv
She is a historian not a state agent. Her scholarship underwent rigorous peer-review to be published in this very journal. #OA link:

Toujours à propos de l'ouvrage de @sawenengo, de l'écriture de l'histoire et de la #Casamance... Il y a plusieurs bonnes questions ici... quelques tentatives de réponse...
