Celebrating the launch of a new blogging website – African Arguments Online, hosted by the RAS and the Social Science Research Council.

Africa has long been the locus and the focus for the most impassioned and intellectually-informed debate. But for many years, specialist Africa coverage in the world’s media has been in decline.
African news and views have moved to the web, but there has been no comparable Africa-wide movement which provides in-depth analysis and debate of the issues and controversies that animate the continent today. With African Arguments Online we intend to fill this gap.
African Arguments Online brings debate on the most important African topics to a wider audience with the rapidity of a news magazine and the reach of the internet, and leading public intellectuals – writers, scholars, activists – contribute regular columns.
