Fredonia University Markus.Vink@fredonia.edu Dear H-AFRICA subscribers, Itinerario is looking for qualified reviewers for issue 32/1 (2008). Based on an earlier CFR, our two review articles have already been assigned. Have a look at the list of the 46 book titles below, divided according to geographical area, and indicate what work(s) you are interested in to review. A regular book review is between 1,000 and 1,200 words long. Style guidelines can be found on the Itinerario website: www.itinerario.nl The book review should be in my possession no later than February 29, 2008, and is to be sent in electronic version both as an email attachment in Word document (.doc) and in the body of text of the email to: markus.vink@fredonia.edu Please provide me with complete contact information for the complimentary review copy(ies) to be sent to. If you are unable to review this round, but know somebody else qualified to review a certain title do not hesitate to forward me her/his email. Note that some of the reviews are based on two books (numbers 11, 22, and 34), while other titles have already been assigned to reviewers (numbers 3, 6, 12, 13, 18, 31, 40, and 42).
