The "African Geographical Review" (AGR), ISSN|1937-6812, is a peer-reviewed academic journal published once per year by the Africa Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers. The AGR is one of only two academic journals specializing in the publication of geographic scholarship related to Africa (the other publication is the South African Geographical Journal). The AGR publishes articles on Africa from scholars based all over the world, but is especially keen to support the publication of scholarship produced by geographers based at African institutions. While the journal is small, it has a long and distinguished history. It is one of the few journals of its kind to have survived until present, i.e., a postcolonial journal originating in the Global South. The journal was originally founded at Makerere University in Uganda and was published from 1963 to 1976 as the East African Geographical Review. Due to political turmoil in Uganda, the journal had to suspend publication for a number of years. The journal was eventually brought to the United States by African geographers and renamed as the African Geographical Review in 2000.
