Ufahamu: A Journal of African Studies is a graduate-student run, peer-reviewed academic journal published at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). It was established by the UCLA African Activist Association in 1970 and named after the Swahili word for comprehension, understanding, or being.[1] The journal is published three times a year and is available from the University of California's eScholarship website.[2] It describes itself as the "oldest student-run journal of Africanist scholarship."[3]
Ufahamu is published in English, with occasional poetry or articles in African and European languages.[4] It is indexed in the MLA International Bibliography, Africa-Wide Information, and Historical Abstracts.
