Publishing when it matters
African Minds is an open access, not-for-profit, publisher of scholarly books. African Minds publishes predominantly in the social sciences and its authors are typically African academics or those with a close affinity with the continent. At African Minds the emphasis is less on the commercial viability of publications than on fostering access, openness and debate in the pursuit of growing and deepening the African knowledge base.
African Minds is a member of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) and of ScholarLed, and fulfills all membership criteria for both associations, including those related to the peer review of the books it publishes.
