    PULA is a journal devote~ to the study of Africa, particularly Southern Africa. It is published twice a year,
    m aJ?armual Volume.conslstmg of two Numbers. We welcome clearly expressed contributions, which cross
    dlsclplmary boundanes, from scholars anywhere in the world. Articles are referee'd by at least two scholarly
   readers.
   The present publication dates are June for No I of the annual Volume, and December for No 2. This means
   final copy dates for printing of April 1st for No I and October 1st for No 2, and editorial submission dates
   for manuscripts at least a month before April 1st and October 1st.
   Papers forconsideration should be sent to the Editor (currently <mazondei(aJmopipi.ub.bw» with a copy
   to the ASSIstant Editor (currently <maunde@mopipi.ub.bw». Papers shouIa be original contributions to
   s~h~larshlp wntten in English, not previously pu15lished.Papers which are too specialized in one academic
   dlscIplme are unlikely to be accepted. If a paper is under consideration for publication elsewhere, this must
   be clearly indicated liy the author.
   Subject to the directions of the Editorial Board, all contributions are passed to at least two scholarly referee
   readers after initial consideration of their suitability by the Editors. We aim to get back to authors within eight
   weeks a.fter initial acknowledgement. If the paper is accepted for publicatIOn, final copy is required in
   electromc form or on diskette.
   Length and Format of Papers for Consideration
  Papers should be 4000 to 6000 words in length, with an abstract of up to 150 words at the.beginning. Authors
  should where possible submit their papers to the Editors electronically, so that copIes can be referred
  e!ectronically to referee readers. Please paste the paper into a normal email text rather than sending it as a
  VlfU.s-rroneattachment---and type Notes and References as end text, not using any "hidden text" or auto-
  matIc footnote function. (Hard copies as well as electronic copies are usually reqUIredfor charts and Illustra-
  tIons.)
  Notes should ~e serially numbered from I onwards, and listed after the main text of the paper. Your full
  address mcludmg email, and any acknowledgements, should be placed as an unnumbered note at the head of
  the Notes. References should be listed alphabetically after the Notes.
