The Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS) is a US group of Africanist academics, founded in 1978, with co-chairs from the African Studies Association (ASA) and the African Heritage Studies Association (AHSA) for at least the first ten years.[1]
It opposed the CIA's support for the Angolan Civil War and Ronald Reagan's policy towards Africa, in particular the policy of constructive engagement towards the South African regime.[1][2] In the 1990s the Association led opposition to the Boren Bill.[3]
The Association's papers are held at the African Activist Archive at Michigan State University.[4]
