History
In 1961, Rajat Neogy established Transition Magazine: An International Review in Kampala, Uganda. It was designed to be the literary organ of East African writers and intellectuals. In 1962, Christopher Okigbo was appointed as editor of a West African edition.
In 1968, the Ugandan government jailed Neogy for sedition; the magazine had criticized President Milton Obote's proposed constitutional reforms. After Neogy's release, the magazine was revived in Ghana in 1971. Wole Soyinka took over as editor in 1973 until the magazine folded in 1976 for financial reasons.
