A network in excellence
AEGIS is a research network of European studies centres which aims to create synergies between experts and institutions. With primary emphasis on Social Sciences and Humanities, AEGIS' main goal is to improve understanding about contemporary African societies.
With the AEGIS Series (published by Brill) AEGIS provides a venue for the publication of works drawn from the lively and expanding community of scholars with interests in Africa and its Diaspora. The AEGIS Series aims to publish books within the broad fields of study within the humanities and social sciences that would bring new approaches or innovative perspectives to the topics discussed. Titles comprise works that could also reflect established debate within African Studies if they provide new insights. Both individually-authored works and edited collections on focused themes will be considered. The first volume ("Is Violence Inevitable in Africa?") appeared in 2005.
There are 19 volumes in Open Access: https://www.aegis-eu.org/aegis-series-brill-open-access.
Books in the AEGIS Series are available Open Access after a short embargo period, in which books are for sale via Brill.
