Africa (Italian journal)
Africa: Rivista semestrale di studi e ricerche (Africa (Rome) or Africa (Italy)) is a biannual peer-reviewed academic journal covering African studies. The journal was established in 1946 and published quarterly until 2010. It was subtitled Rivista trimestrale di studi e documentazione dell'Istituto italiano per l'Africa e l'Oriente and was published by the Italian Institute for Africa and the Orient. Editors-in-chief included Teobaldo Filesi, who in 1965 chose a Humanities approach, and Gianluigi Rossi who maintained this orientation since 1994. After a hiatus, the journal was revived in 2019, published by Viella Editrice on behalf of the Centro Studi per i Popoli Extraeuropei “Cesare Bonacossa” (University of Pavia).
