Coming Soon

Welcome to the future online home of the Journal of Black Military Studies, the diamond open access journal of the Society for Black Military Studies, published on a rolling basis in partnership with the University of Vermont Press.

JBMS is entirely free for authors and readers.

In keeping with the society’s mission, JBMS aims to promote worldwide understanding, appreciation, and greater dialogue about the Black military experience, distinguishing this new discipline as distinct from the field of military history.

Please bookmark this page to watch our progress. JBMS plans to open submissions beginning in late 2025. Please contact us with inquiries.
