Journal overview

Editorial board
Black Histories: Dialogues is a biannual, peer reviewed journal that publishes original and current research on a global understanding of the histories of people of African descent. The journal takes a multi-disciplinary approach within historical studies, including the social, intellectual, economic, political, and financial. Black Histories aims to showcase original research around intersectional themes such as race, class, gender, and identity as well as focusing on economic and/or socio-political issues within a historical framework. The journal seeks to encourage studies of Black Britain and the wider African diaspora as well as continental African societies, through a lens that will foreground complex and multi-layered themes through critical analyses. 

Black Histories: Dialogues recognizes the academic value of diverse perspectives and seeks submissions from scholars at all career stages and from all geographic regions. The journal publishes research articles and book reviews. Both general content and special issue topics will be published.

Readership includes students and academics in historical studies, cultural studies, ethnic studies, African studies, African history, British history, history of the Americas, gender studies, Caribbean studies, Afro-European history, and commonwealth history.

Professor Olivette Otele, Distinguished Research Professor of the Legacies and Memory of Slavery, Faculty of Law, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London writes, “The Journal 'Black Histories: Dialogues' is a welcome initiative and long overdue academic peer-review Journal produced in the UK by Black British historians dedicated to showcase the historical and interdisciplinary contribution of Africans and the African Diaspora to humanity. Boasting a truly global editorial board of scholars I endorse this 21st century platform of research undergirded with perspectives that capture the diversity of Black history from around the globe.”
