The Yoruba Studies Review is a refereed biannual journal dedicated to the study of the experience of the Yoruba peoples and their descendants globally. The journal covers all aspects of the Yoruba transnational, national, and regional presence, both in their West Africa’s homeland and in diasporic spaces, past and present. The journal embraces all disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, and the basic /applied sciences in as much as the focus is on the Yoruba affairs and the intersections with other communities and practices worldwide. The journal will foster and encourage interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches dealing with a wide range of theoretical and applied topics including, but not limited to: cultural production, identities, religion, arts and aesthetics, history, language, knowledge system, philosophy, gender, media, popular culture, education and pedagogy, politics, business, economic issues, social policy, migration, geography and landscape, environment, health, technology, and sustainability.
Yoruba Studies Review seeks to serve as the platform for a new generation of transformative scholarship that is based on cutting-edge research, novel methodologies, and interpretations that tap into the deep wells of Yoruba epistemology and ontology. YSR will also publish critical review essays, book reviews, and scholarly debates on topical issues.
The Yoruba Studies Review will publish research and review manuscripts in the five languages that are primarily used in the Yoruba world– English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Yoruba. Where possible, abstracts of papers will be translated into English.
A section on “Archives” will reprint older materials to provide a wider access to a variety of documents.
Manuscript Style
All documents must be prepared in MS Word or Rich Text format. All sections of the manuscript, including title page, abstract, acknowledgments, references, figure-captions, tables, and set-off quotes must be double-spaced and number consecutively. Submissions must be sent electronically as email attachment to yoruba...@gmail.com (cc. toyin...@austin.utexas.edu) Authors are responsible for supplying professionally drafted figures, suitable for reproduction, and are responsible for obtaining necessary permissions. Camera-ready illustrations may be submitted in hard copy or in electronic format.
Original manuscripts may be submitted in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, or Yoruba language.
The Yoruba Studies Review will be published twice during the academic year, in the fall (October) and spring (April) semesters respectively. The first issue of YSR will appear in in 2015.

Prof, this indeed is awesome. We are really proud of you and your team. The creation of Yoruba Studies Review (YSR) is quite thoughtful of your team, and timely too.Chinyere Ukpokolo
Congrats to you all!
DOYIN AGUORU
To say this is great or remarkable would be an understatement.
The statement of focus throws up vistas,perceptions and critical thinking in Yoruba studies as well as comparative studies.
I personally thank you for creating this window and this intellectual space.
Doyin Aguoru...
This is great. E ku ise o eyin ojogbon.

As our esteemed Professor/Alagba Akinwumi Isola, a.k.a. ‘Honest Man,’ always genuinely exclaims in welcoming and encouraging the endeavors of our generation to ensure that Yoruba language, literature and culture will not atrophy, I, too, echo to our indefatigable trio of editors his: “Aa, ise nla le ma gbe ka le yi o; ise nla le nse yio o!” We couldn’t ask for a more hardworking (true and tried) trio than these three editors to guide and globalize this encompassing, interdisciplinary journal intellectually.
E ku ise naa, eyin Ojogbon wa. K o ni re yin o. Ire la o ma ri ninu ise yi o! Amin!
Ire ni o!
