Transition
Transition is a unique forum for fresh perspectives on global issues, literature and art, cultures and people, with an emphasis on Africa and the Diaspora.
Transition 104 reads like a riff on the word "souls." It opens with an uncanny glimpse into a South African slum community rocked by rumors of a ghost, and free-associates from there: three eulogies in three styles, an untold love story, and a contemplation of the great book by W. E. B. Du Bois that canonized soul and soulfulness as the calling card of the African Diaspora. The issue asks: how can we preserve human dignity across time and space? How can we give old souls the space to speak? In addition, Transition 104 delivers on a remarkable array of prominent figures in the Diaspora, past and present: C. L. R. James, Sally Hemings, Fela Kuti, the Notorious B.I.G., and the Wu-Tang Clan, to name a few.

 Du Bois Review
The Du Bois Review is a scholarly, multidisciplinary, and multicultural journal devoted to social science research and criticism about race.
In his book, The Philadelphia Negro, W. E. B. Du Bois (1899) bemoaned the "peculiar" attitude of indifference that America exhibited toward the human suffering reflected by the poor health of Blacks. The forthcoming Spring 2011 issue of the Du Bois Review (8.1) is a special issue dedicated to the topic "Racial Inequality and Health." Guest edited by David T. Takeuchi (University of Washington) and David R. Williams (Harvard University), the issue provides a state-of-the-art overview of contemporary racial health disparities research, featuring the work of more than sixty scholars in relevant fields.
