ABOUT H-LUSO-AFRICA

H-Luso-Africa is a official discussion list initiated by the Lusophone
African Studies Organization (LASO). LASO is an independent professional
society established in the United States that is open to all scholars with
an interest in Lusophone Africa. LASO is affiliated with and officially
recognized by the African Studies Association. The aims of the network and
the organization are: to promote scholarly research in all areas and
disciplines of the social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities about
Lusophone Africa; to encourage international cooperation and facilitate
the exchange of ideas and meaningful dialogue among persons engaged in
research on Lusophone Africa; to encourage the publication and
dissemination of scholarly and artistic works as well as primary sources
on Lusophone African studies; to organize panels, symposia, and
conferences on Lusophone African studies at meetings of regional, national
and international organizations; and to provide the general public with
information on historical, anthropological, political, economic and other
issues related to Lusophone Africa.

H-LUSO-AFRICA is co-edited by Kathleen Sheldon <ksheldonucla.edu> and
Nick Creary <nmc2georgetown.edu>. It is advised by a board of scholars.

Like all H-Net lists, H- is moderated to edit out material that,
in the editors' opinion, is not germane to the list, involves technical
matters
(such as subscription management requests), is inflammatory, or violates
evolving, yet common, standards of Internet etiquette. H-Net's procedure
for resolving disputes over list editorial practices is Article II,
Section 2.20
of our bylaws, located at:

Logs and more information can also be found at the H-Net Web Site,
