Review of Leadership in Africa (RoLA) is a scholarly journal that provides a forum for the rigorous – theoretical and empirical –examination of the ideas and practices of leadership in Africa in all its ramifications. It publishes original, high quality articles that promote the understanding of the theory, concept and practices of leadership in Africa. The journal invites different perspectives and positions on the leadership question in Africa that allow for a holistic examination of leadership in all its ramifications.

The journal is comparative and multi-disciplinary in focus and would thereby be particularly interested in receiving contributions from scholars in the social sciences and humanities including the disciplines of political science, sociology, psychology, anthropology, law, international relations, history, literature, linguistics, languages, education, religious studies, media and communication studies, cultural studies and development studies.

Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout, including notes and references. Manuscripts, which should not be more than 10, 000 words, should be accompanied by an abstract of about 250 words. Authors are required to submit ONLY electronic copies of their contributions following the Harvard system, with endnotes and the list of references at the end of the paper. Each corresponding author published in RoLA will receive three printed copies of the journal in addition to an electronic PDF copy, which allows the author to print as many copies as possible and disseminate them to colleagues. Contributions should be sent to either of the editors: Dr. Wale Adebanwi, African American and African Studies, 2201 Hart Hall, One Shields Avenue, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA.
