James Currey
James Currey, an imprint of Boydell & Brewer since 2008, has long been recognized as one of the leading publisher of academic books on Africa.
We specialize in publishing research carried out across the African continent, particularly in the fields of Politics, Economics, Development Studies, Urban Studies, Religion, Gender Studies, History, Literature, Film, Anthropology, Archaeology and the Humanities and Social Sciences generally.
We are well known for our longstanding series on Eastern Africa, Western Africa and African Issues, more recently established series on African Articulations and Religion in Transforming Africa, and our annual volumes of African Literature Today, as well as numerous single-authored books and edited collections which are published as standalone volumes. We have recently begun two new series, Future Rural Africa and Making & Remaking the African City: Studies in Urban Africa.
We are dedicated to distributing books about Africa in Africa and have long been noted for producing co-editions with African co-publishers to make the books more affordable. Outside Africa, we publish first in hardback, with simultaneous ebook editions, and a guaranteed paperback within two years of the first publication. New titles in the James Currey imprint also benefit from the Boydell & Brewer global marketing network. Our newsletter, African Griot, includes articles on the books published and special offers; if you wish to subscribe please click here.
