A window on Africa. African Studies Centre Leiden's 75th anniversary celebration

The African Studies Centre Leiden celebrated its 75th anniversary at Museum Volkenkunde in Leiden on 8 September 2022. It was a day filled with reflection, dialogue, and festivities, looking back on 75 years of the Centre’s rich past, and exploring its hopefully equally fruitful and exciting future. This ASCL Occasional Publication presents the keynote speeches of the day. In addition, it highlights the ASCL Library’s exhibition of special items from the collection, and is illustrated with pictures of the many activities and people that made the day such a success. From a historical perspective, the publication is a valuable follow-up to the jubilee book Leer mij Afrika kennen: vijftig jaar Afrika-Studiecentrum, written on the occasion of the ASC’s 50th anniversary celebration in 1998.
