Since it was established in the Department of English at the University of the Witwatersrand in 1958, English Studies in Africa has published a number of key interventions in literary studies. The journal has emphasized, as its name attests, the study of world literature in English within African contexts, at the same time as it set about promoting the study of African literature worldwide. Its founding editors clearly wished to establish a conduit between Anglo-American and Southern African literary studies, and this ethos persists, though in a revised form. Despite this commitment to its context, however, English Studies in Africa is unique in its willingness to publish articles on any literary, educational or language topic that the editors adjudge will be of interest to its diverse readership. While articles regarding English-language education and the English language in its various African manifestations are welcomed, contributors should be apprised of the fact that literary studies remain the core concern of the journal.

All articles are double-anonymized peer reviewed, and the journal is listed on both the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) and is accredited by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training. Guest editors are appointed for special editions of the journal, which alternate with general editions. In addition to the Editors, two Associate Editors and the Editorial Board are responsible for deciding on the themes of special editions and for arbitrating readers’ reports on submissions. The journal has been published by UNISA Press (South Africa) since 2008 and in collaboration with Taylor and Francis since 2009. English Studies in Africa appears biannually.

自1958年在威特沃特斯兰德大学英语系成立以来，《非洲英语研究》发表了许多文学研究中的关键干预措施。正如其名称所证明的那样，该杂志强调在非洲背景下用英语研究世界文学，同时致力于在全球范围内促进非洲文学的研究。其创始编辑显然希望在英美和南部非洲文学研究之间建立一个渠道，这种精神仍然存在，尽管是以修订的形式存在。然而，尽管对其背景做出了这一承诺，但《非洲英语研究》的独特之处在于，它愿意就编辑认为对其不同读者感兴趣的任何文学、教育或语言主题发表文章。虽然欢迎关于英语教育和英语在非洲各种表现形式的文章，但撰稿人应该知道，文学研究仍然是该杂志的核心关注点。

所有文章均经过双重匿名同行评审，该期刊被列入艺术与人文引文索引（A&HCI），并获得南非高等教育和培训部的认证。该杂志的特刊由特约编辑负责，特刊与普通版交替发行。除编辑外，两名副编辑和编辑委员会还负责决定特刊的主题，并对读者提交的报告进行仲裁。该杂志自2008年以来由南非联合国新闻社出版，自2009年以来与泰勒和弗朗西斯合作出版。《非洲英语研究》每两年出版一次。
