Contributors to the Edition

Abstract

The University of Johannesburg acquired The Thinker in April
2019 from Dr Essop Pahad. Over the last decade, The Thinker has
gained a reputation as a journal that explores Pan-African issues
across fields and times. Ronit Frenkel, as the incoming editor, plans on
maintaining the pan-African scope of the journal while increasing its
coverage into fields such as books, art, literature and popular cultures.
The Thinker is a ‘hybrid’ journal, publishing both journalistic pieces with
more academic articles and contributors can now opt to have their
submissions peer reviewed. We welcome Africa-centred articles from
diverse perspectives, in order to enrich both knowledge of the continent
and of issues impacting the continent
