H-Africa

H-Africa is one of the H-Net lists for discussion of Africa's history and culture. It was the first African studies list on H-Net and still the main one. The H-Africa homepage has descriptions and access to archives and search.

My contributions began when I was still in graduate school and are ongoing:
