JALAS&L (as we informally call the Journal of Afro-Latin
American Studies and Literatures), was conceived of three years ago
to promote scientific investigation and awareness of the many
issues that have confronted African-Latin American citizens from
colonial times to the present. Most importantly, this publication
is unconditionally committed to underscoring the significance of
the rich and diverse contributions of peoples with African ancestry
to the life, culture, and the arts of the Americas.
Our journal has received a tremendously positive response from
our academic community. We are very confident, indeed, that it
will be a great tool for scholars in their research and classroom
teaching of graduate and undergraduate students alike. Some of the
most respected and well-known writers, critics, and scholars in the
field, from the US and abroad, participate directly, or indirectly,
in the life of this journal.
Our annual publication dates are March 30th and September 30th.
