THE JOURNAL
The African and Diaspora Discourse, A-DD, is a peer-reviewed academic journal that sets out to reconfigure African Studies through original and intellectually stimulating reseach papers that are capable of provoking new questions, theories and debates on Africa and her relationship with the world; and from multidisciplinary perspectives too. The A-DD annually publishes artcles in both English and French languages, and is domiciled in the Institute of African and Diaspora Studies, Univeristy of Lagos, Ngeria.
