Vol. 3 (2021)

UHURU, now in its third volume, is one of the very first undergraduate journals of its kind. In the following pages readers will be treated to, and rewarded with, peer reviewed articles on a wide range of topics. Indeed, UHURU speaks poignantly to advancements in the scholarship on Africa in ways that would have defied expectations only a few years ago. A product of the tireless efforts of its editorial team, the Journal takes seriously issues associated with the historical (mis)representation of Africa, the importance of working towards decolonizing scholarship on the continent, the vital importance of including (and centering) research produced by student authors from Africa and those of African descent, and the encouragement of any and all contributions that address African topics from a critical analytical lens.
