50 Year Anniversaries Fundraising Campaign Brochure We now ask you to join us in supporting the ASA in achieving its mission. As you may be aware, the ASA was founded in 1957 as a non-profit organization open to all individuals and institutions interested in African affairs. Its mission is to bring together people with a scholarly and professional interest in Africa. It is now the largest organization that promotes African studies by: - Providing information and support to the Africanist community
- Publishing three journals: African Issues, African Studies Review, and History in Africa
- Publishing a professional newsletter, ASA News
- Supporting programs for Young Scholars and the International Visitors
- Sponsoring initiatives targeted to Technology Development and African higher education
- Underwriting the African e-Journals Project
