Drawing on decades of experience in academia and the activist world, ‘Beyond our Current Boundaries: Peace Studies from Africa and the Global South’ (Africa World Press, 2025, premiere book in the Africa World Peace Book Series) initiates a new Africa World Press/Red Sea Press series championing the distinct and growing field of African and Global South Peace Research and Studies. This intentionally interdisciplinary field, bringing together grassroots organizers, scholars, and students, is laid out by Matt Meyer – one of its pioneering thinkers. With a robust review of past Pan-Africanist ideals and contemporary challenges to intersectional systems of oppression, Meyer charts a context for future work building on the dreams of Archbishop Tutu, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, Kwame Nkrumah, Mawina Kouyate, Elise Boulding, the Zapatistas, and more.
