This space is  for contemporary commentary by our editor, Dapo Ladimeji,  on  important but also sometimes the fleeting and ephemeral events of life. An opportunity to give an African gloss on these events which so often feel important at the time but quickly flow with tide towards  the beach of incidental memories and to note those events that are truly important but may be concealed by the mist and noise of the day’s trivia.

 

 

 

 [:de]This journal was started in 1999 at the dawn of the 21st Century

It was aimed at providing leading edge thinking on Africa and the diaspora issues at a time when a stale orthodoxy ruled the Black academy. At the time I had a full time role as partner in a City firm and the  journeying around the world consequent on the launch of the first issue made a second issue impossible! However the need for an independent and forthright journal has not gone away and it is a great pleasure to relaunch the journal. This is a journey that has to be taken collectively. There are so many issues that affect Africa and the diaspora which are not being carefully addressed.
