Sharing this literary submission opportunity with any relevant and interested parties.
This a reblog via Hutchin’s Center
Born in Africa and bred in the diaspora, Transition is a unique forum for the freshest, most compelling, most curious ideas about race. Since its founding in Uganda in 1961, the magazine has kept apace of the rapid transformation of the black world and has remained a leading forum of intellectual debate. Now, in an age that demands ceaseless improvisation, we aim to be both an anchor of deep reflection on black life and a map charting new routes through the globalized world. Transition is a publication of the Hutchins Center at Harvard University, published three times annually by Indiana University Press. Alejandro de la Fuente is the Editor.
Transition aims to speak to the broader intelligentsia and the educated lay public through jargon-free, readable prose that provides both insight and pleasure.
We accept submissions year-round on a rolling basis. We generally respond to all submissions within four months. Due to volume, we are unable to provide updates on the status of submissions unless more than four months have passed.
Transition publishes writing by and about Africa and the African diaspora, with an eye towards a global perspective. Please familiarize yourself with our Archive and read a recent issue to gain a sense of both the content and style that we seek.
