How to publish in this journal

Scope

Safundi is a peer-reviewed quarterly academic journal that publishes analyses of the United States and South Africa from a transnational and/or comparative perspective, seeking to understand each country in relation to the other. The title derives from the initial letters of South Africa and America and the word fundi, which comes from the isiXhosa verb - funda, which translates as "to read" or "to learn”. although new comparative and transnational research is the journal’s principal focus, Safundi also publishes articles specifically addressing one country, provided the research is of interest to an international audience. The Editors will consider submissions relating to other countries in southern Africa and the Americas, as well as to other parts of the world, if these lead to broader comparative insights. We encourage interdisciplinary perspectives on topics in fields including but not limited to anthropology, human and cultural geography, history, languages and literatures, communications, visual cultures and film. Safundi publishes academic articles. Intelligent, exploratory essays and suggestions for review articles are also welcomed. We occasionally solicit contributions to roundtable discussions.
