Nokoko brings forward the foundational work of Professor Daniel Osabu-Kle and his colleagues when they started the Journal of PanAfrican Wisdom in 2005. \u2018Nokoko\u2019 is a Ga word that means something that is new, novel, surprising and interesting. The journal offers a venue for scholarship to challenge enduring simplified views of Africa and the African diaspora, by providing other perspectives and insights that may be surprising, interesting, and refreshing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combining spaces for academic and community reflection, Nokoko creates an opportunity for discussion of research that reflects on the complicated nature of pan African issues. It provides a forum for the publication of work from a cross disciplinary perspective that reflects scholarly endeavour, policy discussions, practitioners\u2019 reflections, and social activists\u2019 thinking concerning the continent and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hosted by the Institute of African Studies at Carleton University (in Ottawa, Canada), Nokoko provides a space for emerging and established scholars to publish their work on Africa and the African diaspora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest volume can be viewed here <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/africanstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/287\/Nokoko-8.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nokoko Volume 8.<\/a> while previous issues can be accessed using this link &#8211;&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/ojs.library.carleton.ca\/index.php\/nokoko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nokoko Journals<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest volume of the IAS Journal &#8211; Nokoko has just published.
