About the journal

Transformation is an established IBSS and SAPSE accredited journal serving as a forum for analysis and debate about Southern African society in transition, as well as the global context that affects this regions development. Various levels of editorial involvement draw in academics from several South African and international universities. Transformation is a well regarded journal which, over the past three decades, has served as an important forum for academics from across the world and across a variety of disciplines to discuss the nature of change in Southern Africa.

The primary focus of the journal is on contemporary society whilst, however, acknowledging the need to locate day-to-day movements and emerging broader patterns in an historical context. Since the first issue in 1987 Transformation has given effect to this aim. It has attracted an impressive array of South African and foreign contributors, covering many disciplines and a wide range of issues around transition, change and transformation.

We invite, from a range of disciplines, contributions which are academically rigorous and which clarify the implications for social transformation of the issues discussed.  All articles are assessed anonymously by two peer reviewers. Transformation publishes 8000 word articles, 3000 word commentary pieces and book reviews. Special issues are encouraged which focus on key topics of relevance to the journal and we welcome guest editors for these special issues.
