TSJ is not a specifically Amazigh Studies journal, but it’s a publication that endeavors to place Tamazight and cultural production at the core of Tamazgha Studies. By inviting contributors to engage with original content in Tamazight when possible and accounting for Amazigh sources in their work, the journal seeks to spur more interest in the fast-changing landscape of Maghrebi Studies. Activists, writers, and cultural producers in Tamazight have transformed the public sphere in Tamazghan countries, infusing a new dynamic in literature and thought in this area. Unlike the domination of Arabic and French in the period extending between the 1950s and the early 2000s, the written and visual culture in Tamazgha is now inherently trilingual, with Tamazight occupying a central stage in this change. Instead of simply accounting for this transformation, TSJ invites authors to reflect on its significance for the humanistic and social scientific disciplines from all possible angles. We also invite contributors to submit translations from Tamazight into English that can serve as material for classroom and inclusion of Amazigh Studies in Anglophone curricula.

Guidelines for submissions:
●    Original contributions of a maximum of 4000-8000 words exclusively submitted to TSJ.
●    Have a clear argument and situate the contribution within the ongoing conversations on Tamazgha
●    Account for Amazigh, Arabic and other sources
●    Polished translations of literary works from Tamazight into English (The 4000-word limit applies)
●    Follow Chicago Manual of Style with footnotes and a bibliography

In addition to individual articles, the journal invites proposals for special issues. Please send a 1000-word proposal, containing a description of the issue and the main argument of the papers to be included.
