"This article offers a portrait of the journal Africa Spectrum (known through 2008 as Afrika Spectrum), which just celebrated its 50th birthday. The essay outlines both the political and institutional context of its founding and traces its major transformations in format and content. Africa Spectrum's metamorphosis also reflects significant changes and trends in African studies in Germany and beyond. One of the journal's main features has been its strong interdisciplinary character and its geographically wide coverage. Over the last decade, Africa Spectrum has successfully transformed itself from a mainly German enterprise into a highly visible international journal." (author's abstract)... view less

"In diesem Beitrag wird ein Porträt der Zeitschrift Africa Spectrum (bis einschließlich 2008 Afrika Spectrum) gezeichnet, die gerade ihren 50. Jahrgang gefeiert hat. Der Autor beschreibt den politischen und institutionellen Kontext der Gründungsphase und verfolgt die wichtigsten Veränderungen in Inhalt und Format. Der Wandel der Zeitschrift reflektiert Entwicklungen und Trends der Afrikaforschung in Deutschland und darüber hinaus. Ein durchgehendes Charakteristikum der Zeitschrift war ihr interdisziplinärer Ansatz und die große geographische Reichweite der Beiträge. Im letzten Jahrzehnt konnte sich Africa Spectrum erfolgreich von einem vor allem die deutsche Forschung reflektierenden Periodikum in eine global sichtbare und wahrgenommene internationale Zeitschrift für Afrikastudien entwickeln."
