African Diaspora is a biannual peer reviewed interdisciplinary journal that takes the African diaspora as a space shaped by the circulations, contacts, and interactions between African and Afro-descendant cultures, societies and histories. It explores the diaspora/s and intersects themes such as communities, identities, transnational movements, solidarities, nationalisms but also displacements and settlements, culture in the widest sense of the term, belonging and citizenship, kinship, religious ritual and symbolism.

African Diaspora encourages the submission of original, empirical, theoretical, and conceptual and critical articles based on rigorous research from any discipline in social sciences and the humanities. It accepts a variety of articles including different writing registers, from the more classic to more experimental tones. Contributions in English and French are accepted.

African Diaspora regularly produces thematic issues and invites guest editors. A developing arts-oriented strand encourages suggestions and submissions for artistic involvement: this includes visual materials, interviews, ethnographic fiction and poetry. These will also receive peer-reviewed attention. It is the journal's policy to promote the publication from a range of scholars, including early career, senior and independent scholars and to provide a platform for discussion and exchange.

African Diaspora est une revue interdisciplinaire semestrielle, à comité de lecture, consacrée à la diaspora africaine vue comme un espace façonné par les circulations, les contacts et les interactions entre les cultures, les sociétés et les histoires africaines et afro-descendantes. Il explore les diaspora/s, et aborde des thèmes tels que les communautés, les identités, les mouvements transnationaux, les solidarités, les nationalismes mais aussi les déplacements et les implantations, la culture au sens le plus large du terme, les appartenances et la citoyenneté, la parenté, les rituels et le symbolisme religieux.

African Diaspora encourage la soumission d'articles inédits, empiriques, théoriques, conceptuels et critiques basés sur des recherches rigoureuses dans toutes les disciplines des sciences sociales et humaines. Elle reçoit une variété d'articles aux différents registres d'écriture, des formes les plus classiques aux plus expérimentales. Les contributions en anglais et en français sont acceptées.

African Diaspora publie régulièrement des numéros thématiques et accueille des éditeurs et éditrices invité.e.s. Un axe sur les arts en cours de développement, encourage la proposition et la soumission de travaux artistiques: cela comprend des documents visuels, des entretiens, de la fiction ethnographique et de la poésie. Ceux-ci feront également l'objet d'une évaluation par les pairs. La politique de la revue est de favoriser la publication de chercheur.e.s divers, en début de carrière, confirmés ou indépendants, et de fournir une plateforme de discussion et d'échange.
