ABSTRACT Much has been said about the rise, or ‘renaissance’, of African economic history. What has received far less attention is who is producing this research. Using a complete dataset of articles in the top four economic history journals, I document the rise in African economic history in the last two decades. I show that although there has indeed been an increase in papers on Africa, it has included little work by Africans. I then attempt to explain why this is so, and motivate why this should matter. The good news is that, mostly owing to efforts by the academic community, more is being done to encourage African inclusion. I conclude with a few suggestions on how to make more African scholars part of the renaissance of African economic history.

谁撰写非洲经济史？

摘要关于非洲经济历史的兴起或“复兴”已经有很多说法。谁引起这项研究的关注很少。通过使用排名前四位的经济史期刊的完整文章集，我记录了过去二十年中非洲经济史的崛起。我表明，尽管有关非洲的论文的确增加了，但非洲人的工作却很少。然后，我尝试解释为什么会这样，并激发为什么这很重要。好消息是，主要是由于学术界的努力，目前正在做更多的工作来鼓励非洲的融入。最后，我对如何使更多的非洲学者成为非洲经济史复兴的一部分提出了一些建议。
