TIAS Topics in Interdisciplinary African Studies

This innovative series is dedicated to monographs and paper collections that are methodologically dealing with multiple scholarly disciplines. These may include combinations of, f.i., (African / Ethiopian) linguistics, ethnological, sociological, political, historical, media, or medical sciences. Thus, the studies are each developed with a trans-, multi- or pluridisciplinary approach. This series is one of the most successful publication organs of our programme.

The manuscripts submitted for this series are evaluated by independent colleagues.
