Old copies of the journal will not be free. The pdf version that is formatted, with complete notes, pagination, and easier to read is available for digital download at a minimal cost. As new technologies and standards emerge, AfricaResource will be in a position to adapt our content and tools, improve the software, enhance our services, and respond to the annual costs of maintaining the Journal Download.

RIGHTS, PERMISSIONS AND REPRINTS

Requests for rights, permissions and reprints should be directed to AfricaResource.

"Published by Africa Resource Center and directed by an all-African women team of co-editors, this new ejournal represents in part an effort to occupy and redefine the space of African Women's studies, a space initially defined by white female scholars. Judging by the inaugural issue, Jenda holds great promise, offering a large selection of interesting and engaging essays and other content, much more than comparable print or online journals." -- Michael de Nie, Director of Scout Report, University of Wisconsin-Madison (March 3, 2001).
