africaresearch.org/ircalc.htm

Description:

IRCALC is the web based council of writers, scholars and researchers around the world with common interest in African studies, particularly the literature, arts and cultures of Africa and her Diaspora. IRCALC editors also see to the regular volumes of the journals of Critical Studies (CS), African Literature (JAL) and New Poetry (NP).

For years IRCALC initiatives in research in African literature with member organizations, college departments, libraries and individuals across the Diaspora have provided information, ideas, and research that enrich understanding of Africa's rich and diverse cultural heritage. Membership cuts across race and nationality and embraces scholars committed to a more imaginative approach to Africa's development issues. CS, JAL and NP journal publications are available online or by subscription. Individual and institutional members also receive regular reviews and newsletters of the organisation.
