James Currey

James Currey Publishers are leading academic publishers on Africa, specializing in archaeology, history, politics, development studies, economics, anthropology, gender studies, literary criticism, theatre and film studies.

Our publishing includes the following series: African Issues, Eastern Africa, UNESCO General History of Africa, African Theatre, African Literature Today. Readers series are being developed in collaboration with the International African Institute and the Review of African Political Economy

We aim for the widest accessibility possible, publishing most titles simultaneously in cloth and paperback editions, and having an active policy of co-publishing in Africa and North America.

Academics, booksellers and reviews editors outside of the UK and Europe should note those titles which have a co-publisher in their country and direct their enquiries and orders to that publisher.
