Abstract

African Studies lost one of its brightest stars in 2021. Though his life was cruelly cut short, Professor Ian Taylor has left a remarkable legacy to the field, not just in terms of his publications but for the impact he has had on students, colleagues and the community more generally. His work was, and is, marked by both intellectual rigour and generosity. His insights, impact and spirit will continue to live on through these and other contributions.
