SUPPORT AN AFRICAN COLLEAGUE WITH A GIFT SUBSCRIPTION TO IJAHS

FOR ONLY $20.00

Everyone in African studies is aware by now of the profound nature of the book famine in Africa. Many African university libraries have been unable to purchase journals and monographs published overseas for some time. We are especially aware of this problem at the International Jolurnal of African Historical Studies. Many articles submitted for publication by our African colleagues are rejected because the readers complain that "the author has not read anything published in the past 8 to 10 years."

We will make available gift subscriptions for African colleagues at the specially reduced price of only $20.00 each. (Regular individual subscriptions cost $30.00.) This offer is only available for individual subscribers. If you can help one or more of the African colleagues in the country of your own research (or elsewhere) please complete the form below (or a facsimile) and return it with your check to:

African Studies Publications, Boston University 270 Bay State Road, Boston, MA 02215

Please enter a gift subscription for IJAHS Volume 24, 1991, for:

This offer is only valid for African colleagues in Africa.

Donor's name and address:

The first journal will include a card indicating that the subscription is a gift from you.

Overseas journals are sent surface mail. Please let us know if you prefer to have the journals sent to your address, so that you could send them on by air.
