Aim of the series Editorial Board: Aderonke Adesanya, Art History, James Madison University; Kwabena Akurang-Parry, History, Shippensburg University; Samuel O. Oloruntoba, History, University of North Carolina; Wilmington Tyler Fleming, History, University of Louisville; Barbara Harlow, English and Comparative Literature, University of Texas at Austin, Emmanuel Mbah, History, College of Staten Island; Akin Ogundiran, Africana Studies, University of North Carolina, Charlotte. This book series serves as a scholarly forum on African contributions to and negotiations of diverse modernities over time and space, with a particular emphasis on historical developments. Specifically, it aims to refute the hegemonic conception of a singular modernity, Western in origin, spreading out to encompass the globe over the last several decades. Indeed, rather than reinforcing conceptual boundaries or parameters, the series instead looks to receive and respond to changing perspectives on an important but inherently nebulous idea, deliberately creating a space in which multiple modernities can interact, overlap, and conflict. While privileging works that emphasize historical change over time, the series will also feature scholarship that blurs the lines between the historical and the contemporary, recognizing the ways in which our changing understandings of modernity in the present have the capacity to affect the way we think about African and global histories.
