I Shall Live and not Perish: Revisiting Revise and Resubmit.
When I was invited by the editors to submit a paper for their collection, I thought that what might be most helpful for readers would be for me to share some reflections on, and lessons from my own journey. This process also helps me to make sense of my experiences and the experiences of others; and...

This process also helps me to make sense of my experiences and the experiences of others; and to evaluate how I can continuously contribute to enabling processes of just knowledge production and disrupting unjust practices. Knowledge production should be a rewarding experience. It should also be a productive process as we contribute to a project for the good of humans and not (merely) for wealth production and the enhancement of personal egos. Furthermore, the process should not have academics merely survive, much less perish, as we work our craft. If we are to live our lives within the academy as writers and creatives, we should be able to practice our craft and our trade, as sister Maya says, with passion, compassion, humour and style. This, however, will not be possible so long as the process is driven by a culture of valorisation by publication numbers; unhealthy competition between universities, publishers and individual academics; and a drive for supernormal profits among publication houses. In this chapter I reflect on the complexities of these processes in the journal article production sector and suggest how we might make this a more human endeavour. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of African Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
