Aims & Scope

The Journal of African Cinemas is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal that explores the interactions of visual and verbal narratives in African film. It recognizes the shifting paradigms that have defined and continue to define African cinemas. Identity and perception are interrogated in relation to their positions within diverse African film languages.

This title is indexed with Scopus and the Web of Science’s Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).
