Debating Ideas is a new section that aims to reflect the values and editorial ethos of the African Arguments book series, publishing engaged, often radical, scholarship, original and activist writing from within the African continent and beyond.

Welcome to the first contribution in a 4 piece part series in African Arguments - Debating Ideas on the Foreign Policy of Israel in Africa based on Yotam Gidron's book Israel in Africa; Security, Migration and InterState Politics from Zed Books

The book tells a story of turmoil in the Middle East, amidst which few have noticed the extent to which Israel has slowly but surely been building alliances on the African continent.

African Arguments is a series of short books about contemporary Africa and the critical issues and debates surrounding the continent.

The series is published by Zed, where you can order Yotam's book and distributed by University of Chicago Press in North America we well as via a number of small-scale distributors across the African continent including Blue Weaver in South Africa.

Associated with the book series is Africa's latest addition to the African Arguments site, Debating Ideas blog which is a new section that aims to reflect the values and editorial ethos of the African Arguments book series, publishing engaged, often radical, scholarship, original and activist writing from within the African continent and beyond.
