ALA Publications

The ALA publishes two different periodicals -- the Journal of the African Literature Association (JALA) and the ALA Newsletter. In partnership with Africa World Press/Red Sea Press, we also publish the Annual Proceedings of the ALA Conference.

Journal of the African Literature Association (JALA)
Abioseh Porter, Editor | Email

The editor of JALA invites submission of essays, reviews, and review-essays that reflect the range of primary materials, critical methodologies, and the many contending and complementary movements in African and African diaspora literatures and cultures. Deadlines for submissions are February 1 for the spring/summer issue and June 1 for the fall/winter issue. For more information, please read the JALA Submission Guidelines (pdf).
