Langaa / ASCL series

As of 2019, there will be no new ASCL books published by Langaa.

This series was the result of an agreement between the African Studies Centre and the Langaa Research and Publishing Common Initiative Group in Cameroon. The aim of the series was (1) to publish book manuscripts of both African and non-African scholars and (2) to reduce the gap between African and non-African publishing. To ensure the academic quality, all books in this series were subject to double-blind peer review.
