Journal Article
Mapping Mazrui's Mind
2016
Overview
Ali Mazrui has left his enormous intellectual footprint in political science in general and African studies in particular. By the beginning of the 1990s, his output had been impressive enough to bring about Abdul Bemath's 1998 compilation The Mazruiana Collection (1962-1997).1 As the years unfolded, Bemath saw the need to update his earlier compilation, which he renamed The Mazruiana Collection Revisited. The 2005 annotated bibliographical text that he painstakingly put together continues to generously serve the social sciences and humanities. This compilation's latest edition is about to be concluded and will include all of Mazrui's publications between 2005 and 2014, as well as other edited texts that contain Mazrui's writings that were compiled posthumously. This article essentially returns to Bemath's invaluable compilation as well as to Mazrui's updated resume to study and review from a bibliometric perspective Mazrui's substantial contribution to the social sciences and the humanities. Put differently, it sets itself the task of undertaking a bibliometric approach that will help map out this scholar's \"mind\" by reflecting upon the numbers of peer reviewed articles alongside his long list of books and book chapter publications. It graphically depicts and analyzes Mazrui's output in order to show the extent of his contributions toward the knowledge production process related to the above-mentioned disciplines and in particular to that of African studies.
