Call for Papers

Afro-Americans in New York Life and History (AANYLH) is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes peer-reviewed, original research on African American history, culture, politics, and economics, focusing primarily (though not exclusively) on New York State. The Journal publishes biannually in January and July.

The Journal invites articles on the following topics:

• Race, Class, and Gender
• Black American Culture and Religion
• Black Arts and Literature
• Slavery and Freedom
• Black Social Movements
• Black Political Economy
• Mass incarceration

We seek to engage scholarly and community perspectives on the African American experience, past and present, especially as it pertains to New York State. The Journal publishes research articles that examine developments in African American, Africana, Diaspora, and Black Studies.
