FROM THE SECRETARIAT ...

Renewals of individual memberships are well under way. By March 1, more than 800 of you had sent us your 1990 dues, along with information on your background that we will publish in the ASA Directory of Members. If you have not yet renewed, please use the form printed in this issue and send us your check today.

A number of ASA members objected to our personal questions about age, gender and nationality, despite our caveat that we sought statistical information only. One Ca­nadian indicated that our questions were illegal, while sev­eral others simply did not respond. A number of women and men were reluctant to divulge their age, and we were bemused by several who placed a question mark after "age" (surely you haven't forgotten!). A few others, pre­sumably quantitative social scientists, seemed intent on confounding the survey takers we don't believe that there really are women out there named John or Robert! We were looking for names that belong on a passport in re­sponse to the nationality question; Celtic and Cajun were among the more interesting that we found.

We are seeking collective personal data on ASA mem­bers for a good reason. The National Council of Area Stud­ies Associations, which includes the ASA plus the Middle Eastern, Asian, Latin American and Soviet/East European associations, is preparing a report on the state of area stud­ies faculty. As we move into the 90s and a period of ex­pected faculty turnover, we are concerned with the area studies professoriate. Are we facing large shortages of trained area studies faculty, or are there adequate younger faculty and graduate students to replace those who will re­tire in the 90s? Are area studies faculty being lost by attri­tion and not replaced? What is the profile of area studies faculty and is the nature of faculty in our fields changing­by age, by gender, by nationality? Are patterns the same in each discipline?

We ask personal information of you as the beginning of our attempt to gather useful data for this report. NCA­SA will be meeting in April to discuss further the direction of the report. Meanwhile, we would welcome responses from you about the state of African studies faculty on your own campuses.

Along with the membership renewals, the massive wave of Annual Meeting proposals is sweeping over us, promising a vibrant and exciting Baltimore ASA from No­vember 1-4. Program Chair Willie Lamouse-Smith can now be reached by phone (301-455-2924/2928/2158) or FAX (301-455-1076).

LETTERS Dear Colleagues:

It has been a long-standing policy of the ASA to reject collaboration with government intelligence agencies. In 1982 the Board passed a specific reso­lution with respect to the Defense In­telligence Agency:

DIA RESOLUTION April 2-3, 1982

The Board of Directors of the Afri­can Studies Association notes with deep concern the recent establish­ment of a program to support aca­demic research in Africa and other Third World regions by the De­fense Intelligence Agency. Both ed­ucational institutions and individu­al scholars have been invited to apply to the Agency for such sup­port. Believing that the credibility and integrity of American university­based scholarsip in the African studies field depend upon arrange­ments which ensure the indepen­dence of academic research and

publication from the military and political interests of the govern­ment;and Being convinced that the basis of such independence is undermined by direct patron-client relation­ships between the Defense Intelli­gence Agency and the Africanist academic community; The Board calls upon Africanist scholars to refrain from participa­tion in the Defense Intelligence Agency's program for research and support and to oppose participa­tion in that program by their uni­versities and research institutes.

It is in respect of this sentiment that I wish to call attention to a recent attempt of the CIA to involve our members in their activities. A letter of invitation to participate in "a colloqui­um of Africanists" sponored by the CIA was sent to a number of Ameri­can Africanists. The letter described a meeting to take place in McLean, Vir­ginia, from April 1-3, 1990. The pro­gram was to include a briefing on the

Directorate of Intelligence, a tour of some of the CIA's facilities and intro­ductions to some analysts. Several panel discussions on African topics were planned. Though the visiting Af­ricanists were not expected to make formal presentations, they were invit­ed to raise questions and make com­ments on issues raised.

The invitation included a copy of a 1986 speech by the Deputy Director for Intelligence, Robert M. Gates, pleading with the academic communi­ty to coopera te wi th the CIA in its re­search activities.

I recommend that at its spring meeting the Board again consider the issue of collaboration between the Af­ricanist community and the intelli­gence community. Perhaps a general resolution similar to that of April 2-3, 1982 is in order.

Sincerely, Mark W. Delancey

To the Chair: Archives-Libraries Committee, ASA

Your Guidelines for Librarians Inter­acting with South Africa [published in ASA News, vol. XXII, no. 3, Jul/Sep 1989] has come to the attention of lo­cal librarians and is at present being widely discussed. I am not sure whether our South African Institute for Librarianship and Information Sci­ence (SAlLIS) will formally react. As a long time member of SAlLIS I feel it my duty, however, to draw your at­tention to some aspects of the Guide­lines which reflect unfavourably on SAlLIS and should, therefore, be recti­fied.

In the first place I would like to state that I, like many colleagues in SAlLIS, welcome your constructive support to promote the required posi­tive change in our country. I am, therefore, generally in agreement with the Guidelines insofar as they aim to support developments promoting black advancement and particularly

developments in education and librar­ianship.

It is regrettable that, by naming in paragraph 2.2 only political or labour organizations, the impression is given that the many organizations on the cultural, educational or other levels engaged in positive change should still be boycotted.

However, I am even more gravely concerned that the reference to SAlLIS in paragraphs 5.2 and 6.3 may be in­terpreted as singling out SAlLIS as an apartheid institution which should be avoided.

I would like to point out to you that in 1980 South African librarians reconstituted the segregated South Af­rican Library Association into the South African Institute for Librarian­ship and Information Science as a pro­fessional organization with an open membership and renounced apart­heid in a public statement. ..

Furthermore, on 18 September 1986, the Conference of SAI­

LIS...adopted a resolution that ... We, the members of SAlLIS, con­

firm that we regard SAlLIS as a body above the political and ideological doctrine, which grants membership ir­respective of race, colour, sex or creed and accepts and allows differing views amongst its members.

We strive to raise the standard of library and information services in all communities throughout the coun­try...

Paragraph 5.2 states that the membership of SAlLIS in IFLA is be­ing challenged. I should like to correct this statement by pointing out that SAlLIS is not a member of IFLA, but some South African libraries have in­stitutional membership.

IFLA decided some years ago that it cannot accept membership of any institution which is attached to or is it­self practicing any form of apartheid. All South African libraries had to pro­vide information on their policies and had to twice sign declarations that

they do not follow any discriminatory practices in respect of either users or staff. In spite of this, some individuals in IFLA still persist in trying to have the membership of South African li­braries withdrawn ...

It remains, however, a matter of concern that the Guidelines document misrepresents SAlUS' endeavours to realize a free flow of information and commitment to an open library ser­vice. I would, therefore, like the Ar­chives and Libraries committee to take cognisance of the positive steps which SAlUS' members have taken to dissociate the Institute from the creed and policies of apartheid.

I, futhermore, request you to con­sider giving SAlUS your active sup­port to effect further positive change rather than taking any action which could have negative results ...

Yours Sincerely, John Willemse Chief Director, Deptartment of li­brary Services University of South Africa

THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS WEST AFRICAN FIELD OFFICE Gretchen Walsh of the Boston University Africana Library and Edna Bay of the ASA Secretariat testified before the House Sub-Committee on Legislative Branch Appropria­tions February 8. Both spoke in support of a request by the Library of Congress for funding for the establishment of a field office to collect materials in West Africa. Walsh testified in the place of the ASA Archives-Libraries Committee Chair Phyllis Bischof of I the University of California, Berkeley, who was unable to attend the hetlrings. Copies of Walsh's oral statement, Bischofs written testimony, and Bay's statement are repro­ t duced below.

As of this writing, Congress is still deliberating approval of the Library of Congress re­quest for the 1991 budget. Members of Congress appmr particularly receptive to mail I on questions such as this and we have received positive signals that the request may be approved this yetlr (it was voted down last yetlr). Thanks to the ASA's Archives­ I Libraries Committee, members of Congress have been receiving letters from individuals iand universities. It is not too late for you to write.

Should you wish to write in support of the request, we have listed the names and home towns of the appropriate committee members below. Alternatively, the Congressional representative from your home district would be pletlSed to hear from you. Feel free to use words, phrases and idetlS from the materials we've printed below. If you do write, pletlSe do so within a week to ten days of receipt of this newsletter.

I would like to summarize the whole-hearted support of the librarians of

GOING AWAY FOR A WHILE?

Let us hold your membership mailings while you're gone.

ASA members resident in the US who leave their permanent addresses for short-term re­search trips to Africa some­times ask their local post office to hold their first-class mail. Alas, the postal service destroys ASA publications mailed to such persons, and we are charged $ .30 to receive a notice that they are "temporarily away."

If you plan to ask the post of­fice to hold your mail, please drop us a line. Let us know when you will leave and the date you will return. We will hold your ASA mail for you, and send it along when you get home.

the African Studies Association for the Library of Congress's proposed West Af­rican Field Office by positing answers to some questions you might well raise Iduring your deliberations:

I !

1. Why locate in West Africa? 2. Why obtain publications from West Africa? 3. Why establish an LC field office?

I won't elaborate the importance of West Africa, which is well documented in our written statements, beyond underscoring the strong human and cultural ties we Americans have with West Africa, and pointing out that despite serious Icurrent problems, countries in West Africa, and indeed the region as a whole, have potential for becoming Significant players in global economics and poli­tics. West Africa is a friend we may well appreciate having.

American experts write many books on West Africa-why bother acquiring publications from the region itself? Simply because our experts in all fields need primary sources of information-documents, local studies, etc-to support the Iresearch that goes into writing those books. They need, as well, the exchange of ideas with African scholars who publish their research in Africa. Perhaps most I importantly, our students need the direct contact that African books, newspa­ jpers and magazines provide to place their studies in the human context of West Africa. Frivolous as it might seem, reading a political cartoon or advice column in a Nigerian newspaper can take Africa out of the abstract and make it real and t understandable for our students. I

Given our nationwide need for a broad spectrum of publications from West Africa, how do we expect LC's field office to help? Publications from West Afri­ca are difficult to identify, locate and acquire--our professional discussions al­

ways focus on those difficulties. Knowing the very success­ful record of LC's Nairobi office in solving these problems for East Africa through the accessions list, advice on specif­ic problems and a recently expanded acquisitions service, we anticipate the same kinds of assistance from the West African office, as well as a strengthened collection in LC, the library of last resort for our nation's researchers.

This is the information age-we look forward to work­ing with LC to expand the nation's understanding of West Africa through information, when the West African Field Office is established.

Regional Accessions Office by Phyllis B. Bischof, University of California, Berkeley

Thank you for this opportunity to state the wholeheart­edsupport of the Archives-Libraries Committee of the Afri­can Studies Association of the US for the establishment of a West African regional office by The Library of Congress. Members of this Committee manage the most substantial and prestigious collections of Africana held by our nation's major research libraries. Our 70 members and our respec­tive libraries welcome the prospect of better acquisition of and improved bibliographic control over West African ma­terials, publications which have been notoriously difficult to acquire.

Africanists believe a West African regional acquisitions office to be not only highly desirable, but also necessary to improved acquisitions of West African publications by American libraries. Enactment of the request now before you would go far to alleviate the present partial and une­ven coverage in this country of these publications which are sorely needed by scholars, students, entrepreneurs, and also by governmental policymakers. The outstanding suc­cess of the East African Accessions Office has long raised the question of why West Africa, with publications more numerous, has been ignored among foreign acquistions programs. A West African acquisitions program would sig­nificantly enhance information resources available national­ly because of a stated intent to make available copies of publications acquired by the field office not only to The Li­brary of Congress itself, but also by sale in microform to other major Africana libraries around the country. The East African Office publishes and distributes gratis its highly valued Accessions List: East Africa. This list informs librari­ans what has been published in the 22 countries covered by The Library's Nairobi field office, and it delineates for us the universe of printed information with which we need to be familiar. No comparable form of bibliographic control exists for West Africa, although it is profoundly needed. I should like to share with you just one specific example of the kind of problem typically faced by American librarians in acquiring African materials. For two years the Library of the University of California at Berkeley attempted in vain to set up a subscription to a Kenya newspaper, The Daily Nation, published in Nairobi. We particularly wanted to re­ceive the paper since at least 15 Berkeley professors are en­

gaged in East African research, and of course both Ameri­can and Kenyan graduate and undergraduate students on the campus need to keep abreast of Kenyan news. One would think this to be a simple matter, but it was not. We wrote repeatedly with no response. Finally in 1987 we sent Susan Hall, a Berkeley Fulbright scholar spending a year in Nairobi, to the offices of the Daily Nation to discuss the matter in person. Subsequently much correspondence still was needed from Berkeley in order to get the subscription correctly underway. The paper finally began to arrive. However, in late 1989 we decided we would have to cancel our subscription. Why? Because the issues received were so few in number that each daily issue actually received cost us $44. No library can bear such costs. Only in limited instances can libraries afford the kind of special attention and voluminous correspondence we expended on trying to acquire this newspaper in the first place.

There is, however, a happy ending to this story. Just at the time we determined to cancel, the East African Access­sions Office offered to begin acquisition of selected news­papers, serials and governmental publications from Kenya for American libraries at cost plus a 50 percent administra­tive fee. We had been paying $780 annually for this paper to arrive by airmail. Now we shall pay $100.50 for an annu­al subscription, and we do expect the paper to arrive regu­larly and promptly. Savings will be used to pay for other African materials we could otherwise not have purchased. The Archives-Libraries Committee wishes to express its ap­preciation to the Library of Congress for this extension of the activities of its Nairobi Office. This action should signif­icantly strengthen and improve East African holdings in American libraries. Since no commercial alternative to this support exists, improved library collections of Africana re­main quite dependent upon this type of assistance.

In 1982 I made a seven-week's acquisitions trip to five West African countries. Although this was highly benefi­cial to my library and its collections, such trips are very costly, necessarily infrequent, and benefit only single insti­tutions. They require months of preparation and weeks of follow-up in addition to the time away from one's normal work. Karen Fung, Stanford's Deputy Curator for Africana, made one such trip during the 1970s; Dr. Joseph J. Lauer, then of UCLA, also made one trip during the 1980s. Acqui­sitions trips are not possible for more than one or two of our members in any given year, and many years have passed without a single trip being taken. Not only their cost and infrequency bear on the wisdom of reliance on such trips to improve acquisitions; the sheer number of the more than 50 African countries for which we are responsi­ble to collect materials does not permit more than occasion­al visits by even the most assiduous traveller.

Africana librarians consider publications of Nigeria to be among the most urgent to acquire; they are also among the most difficult. Our acquisition problems stem in large measure from remaining gaps in Nigerian infrastructure and from difficulties inherent in long-distance communica­tion. Nigeria's population of an estimated 105 million

means that one of every six Africans is Nigerian. Nigeria possesses one of the highest per capita incomes on the con­tinent ($730 in 1986, according to The Stateman's Yearbook of 1989-90), and its people are full of vitality and resourceful­ness. After obtaining independence in 1960 Nigeria built 22 universities and scores of polytechnic and other college lev­el schools. It also, like many other newly independent Afri­can nations, instituted universal primary education in the years 1955 to 1971. Thus it offers a number of aspects of un­mistakable interest to this country, including a relatively well-trained workforce, sizable potential markets, and in addition, of course, substantial oil reserves.

Recently established (since 1984) Nigerian publishers are all quite Significant, but thus far only poorly represent­ed in libraries of this country. They include the following: Fountain Publications (lbadan), Booklinks (lbadan), Gbemi Sodipo Press (Abeokuta), Malthouse Publishing (lbadan and Lagos), Paperback Publishers (lbadan), Saros Interna­tional (Port HarcourO, Vantage Publishers (lbadan), Ziki­zum Publishers (Benin City), Pero Press (Lagos), Zim-Pan African Publishers (Oguta), etc. Publications of these newly established publishers and other indigenous publishers, as well as the information issued by West African govern­ments should be readily available in major research librar­ies here in the United States. I wish to make emphatically dear that adequate private sector resources to supply re­search libraries with these publications do not exist.

It is a truism that this is an information age. In such an age Americans can ill afford to be without solid collections of West African publications. This country must compete in an information age, for so very many reasons. We must know the terrain and the facts of daily life, as well as the political and economic conditions in this important area. We must know markets and demographic patterns; educa­tional, medical, and environmental information of all kinds is required. A number of West African countries contain parts of the Sahara Desert within their borders; detailed in­formation regarding their climates is imperative in order to assess and act upon such questions as those associated with global warming. Information regarding levels of air pollu­tion and water purity in oceans off the borders of these lands also affect the lives of Americans. Establishment of this office provides a singular opportunity to bridge a trou­bling gap in our sources of information on West Africa.

The Archives-Libraries Committee of the African Stud­ies Association is encouraged by the present endeavor to establish a West African acquisitions office. We consider passage of the Library of Congress proposal for this office essential to the successful performance of our work. Pas­sage is also essential to the national interest, for it would enable policymakers to base their decisions on a fuller rep­resentation of West African information of all kinds. Mem­bers of the Archives-Libraries Committee unanimously urge the Subcommittee's favorable consideration of this measure.

West African Regional Acquisitions Office by Edna G. Bay, African Studies Association

I am pleased to have the opportunity to testify in sup­port of the Library of Congress's request for a West African regional acquisitions office. I am pleased, too, to be able to speak on behalf of the African Studies Association, a non­profit corporation of some 2500 individuals and institu­tions with an interest in African affairs and the leading or­ganization promoting African studies in the United States. Founded in 1957, the ASA's mission is to bring together persons with a scholarly and professional interest in Africa, to provide useful services to the Africanist community, and to publish and distribute scholarly Africanist materials.

Most of the 1900 individual ASA members are profes­sors and researchers associated with institutions of higher education in the US, though our membership also includes persons with careers in the United States foreign service, in international development and health, in primary and sec­ondary education and in church or social service work as it relates to Africa. Our institutional members are predomi­nantly libraries and academic programs.

Among the most active of the committees within the African Studies Association is our Archives-Libraries Com­mittee. The oldest of our constituent groups, the committee consists of profeSSional librarians and archivists represent­ing virtually all the research institutions and major univer­sity libraries holding significant collections of Africana. Meeting twice annually, these 60-70 individuals have worked over the years to acquire materials on Africa and to make them available both to research scholars and to the American public.

The effective functioning of our members, as teachers, researchers and decision-makers in African affairs, is de­pendent upon access to current information on Africa, whether it be primary works such as news materials and government documents, or whether it be published and unpublished scholarly monographs and papers prepared by colleagues in African universities and research insti­tutes. To the extent that we collectively assist in the forma­tion of US opinion and of US policy on Africa, it is clearly in the national interest that the flow of information to us and to all Americans be ensured. In short, the quality of American understanding and analysis of African affairs is directly linked to the quality of information available to all of us.

The Library of Congress Office in Nairobi has done an excellent job in providing bibliographic control for a wide area of east, northeast, central and southern Africa. Its ex­tensive acquisitions efforts have succeeded in developing one of the world's finest collections of current materials from those areas. Futhermore, through the office's coopera­tive acquisitions program, materials such as serials, which are particularly difficult to obtain through commercial sources, are being made far more widely available on a timely and continuing basis than has ever before been pos­sible. The excellence of the services provided by the Nairo­

bi office has underlined the need for a West African coun­terpart for the more than twenty African nations not cur­rently covered by a Library of Congress field office.

The establishment of a West African acquisitions office is a particular need given the importance of that region: it is the area to which most African Americans trace their heri­tage, and it continues to be a strategically and economically important area for the United States. West Africa is increas­ingly the source of new immigrants to the United States, of­ten skilled and talented individuals who have enriched American research capabilities in African studies as well as individuals who are contributing generally to the US econo­my. Nigeria, the world's sixth most populous country, is lo­cated in West Africa, as are Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia and Senegal, to mention just a few of the nations with which the US has special relations and in terests.

The need for the systematic collection of information on West Africa is crucial at this time for two reasons. First, we have all been made increasingly aware over the past decade of the world-wide interconnectedness of environmental, health, political and economic systems. Tracing the spread of AIDS in West Africa or understanding issues such as West African deforestation and its impact on the earth's en­vironment are essential to a global approach. Information on West African markets and the supply of raw materials is central to our understanding of global economics, while the changes in great power relations and the deep economic crisis in West Africa have created fluid and rapidly devel­oping political situations likely to change the nature of gov­ernment there and the atmosphere of international organi­zations everywhere. Our long-term policy interests will certainly be affected as populations in West Africa increase their demands for democratic institutions.

Second, at the same time that we recognize the need for global understanding of human issues, our ability to ac­quire information from West Africa has declined. Over the decade of the 80s deteriorating economic conditions there have crippled channels of communication across the Atlan­tic. Our librarians and scholars have become increasingly frustrated at being unable to obtain current materials either in a reliable or a timely fashion. Institutions with the means send librarians on occasional collecting trips and individual scholars often make acquisitions a side activity on research visits. Nevertheless, such efforts are by definition spotty, and cannot begin to deal systematically or comprehensively with the entire body of available materials.

In fact, there is a greater production of print materials in West Africa than in eastern Africa. One hundred fifty­three publishing houses exist in Nigeria alone. Commercial vendors are able to supply American institutions with only a portion of the needed materials. West African countries produce national bibliographies or other listings of publica­tions only sporadically and many West African publica­tions are ephemeral, products of short print runs and inade­quate budgets. A field presence is essential for the systematic collection of these materials.

We anticipate that a West African aquisitions office will assist us in two major ways. First, the office will alert us to

the existence of materials by producing a bi-monthly acces­sions list and annual list of publishers. We in turn will have access to those materials through the Library of Congress. Second, the Library of Congress plans through a West Afri­can office to offer American libraries participation in a cooperative acquisitions program to be run on a cost­recovery basis. This will enable virtually any American li­brary to obtain materials, and particularly serials, on a reli­able basis at a considerable savings in cost, even though they will pay list price plus 50% overhead. Moreover, American librarians and individual scholars will be able to acquire materials like government documents, which are often not available in multiple copies, through the LC's photoduplication services.

The need for a West African field office is abundantly clear. It would facilitate research and understanding of that area in the context of America's responses to a world in the midst of dramatic political and economic changes. It would promote the national interest by enabling policy makers to base their decisions on a fuller representation of West Afri­can governmental activities and intellectual concerns. Sure­ly Americans cannot afford to be without these information resources, so many of which are at present outside our reach.

NOTE 1: Summary of significant Accounting Policies

Description of Organization

The African Studies Association, Inc. (the Association) was

organized in 1957 as a non-profit membership corporation to bring

together persons with a scholarly and professional interest in

Africa, to provide useful services to the Africanist community, and

to publish and distribute appropriate scholarly and informational

materials. Membership is open to institutions and individuals.

Method of Depreciation

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over

the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Income Taxes

The Association qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under

section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue code. Accordingly, no

provision for Federal or state income taxes has been recorded on

the accompanying financial statements.

Inventories

Inventories of books and publications are stated at the lower

of cost or market, with cost determined using the first-in, first­out method.

Deferred Revenue - Grants Deferred revenue - grants represent funds which are restricted

for specific purposes by the grantor. Unexpended grant funds are

recognized as revenue as expenditures are incurred for the purpose

See accountants' compilation report.

specified by the grantor. Grants which are not restricted by the

grantor are recognized as revenue upon receipt.

NOTE 2: Agreement with Emory University

The Association and Emory University (Emory) entered into an

agreement which provided for the Secretariat of the Association to

be located on the campus of Emory for a period of five years from

January 1, 1988 to December 31, 1992. The agreement provided for

Emory to pay for certain moving, operating and capital expenses in

connection with the moving and relocating of the Secretariat to

Emory. Emory donated $31,000 for these expenditures which is in­

cluded in the accompanying statements of support, revenue and

expenses as grant funds received for the year ended December 31,

1988.

Additionally, Emory pays certain operating expenses of the

Association, such as payroll, postage, telephone, etc. and bills

the Association monthly. At June 30, 1989 and December 31, 1988,

the Association owed Emory $15,483 and $19,525, respectively, for

such expenses.

NOTE 3: Grant Funds

In 1988 and 1989, the Association received grants from the

Ford Foundation and other sources totaling $23,651. The grants

were used to fund foreign participation in the Association's 1989

and 1988 annual meetings. Expenditures relating to the above

grants totaled $389 as of June 30, 1989 and $23,262 in 1988.

See accountants' compilation report.

During 1988, the Association was awarded a grant from the

National Endowment for the Humanities in the amount of $12,038.

Statement of Candida<;)' I believe that the decade of the 19905 will be viewed by

historians as a pivotal period in the political history of the world. Nowhere will this be more evident than in Africa. As the 1980s drew to a close the world economic and politi­cal order was posed for fundamental change. Western Eu­rope was rapidly moving towards an expanded economic and political union of West European states; the Eastern Bloc was witnessing growing economic and political liber­alization; the superpowers for the first time in more than 40 years were moving toward close cooperation and away from conflict. On the African continent itself, the several

political impasses in both the Hom of Africa and Southern Africa seemed closer to resolution than ever before, while at the same time the African economic crisis seems to have turned to a chronic malaise. These and other changes will no doubt have profound implications for the countries of Africa. In order to appropriately assess the impacts of such changes on African politics and society, Africanists will have to re-examine the research issues and approaches which concern them; be ready to take the lead in setting the African research agenda; and work diligently to keep Afri­ca at the front of the policy agenda. These are formidable challenges, but I am convinced that they must be met if the ASA is to fulfill its chosen professional role.

I believe that the African Studies Assodation can best meet these challenges by not only continuing to do what it already does well (e.g. advancement of Africanist scholar­ship; community outreach and education about Africa, etc.); it can and must explore new avenues of research and policy action which will contribute to positive develop­ment and change in Africa. One important area of expand­ed activity should certainly be the broadening of relation­ships and cooperative arrangements between and among American and African universities and professional associ­ations; and the expansion of relationships between ASA and other associations of Africanists throughout the world (e.g. Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe). The ASA could do much to encourage international joint con­ferences involving American Africanists and Africanists from other parts of the world.

A second area which needs the attention of the ASA is the development of scholarship funds that would enable more African graduate students to study in American uni­versities. The Association could take the lead in making in­formation about possible existing sources of funding more available for African students, and exploring the possibility of establishing an ASA fellowship fund for African stu­dents. Such students not only enrich our courses and semi­nars, they represent Africa's future intellectual leadership and must be supported in whatever ways possible so they can ably meet the challenges ahead.

Another area in which the ASA could have a profound impact is in finding ways to increase the flow of books published outside Africa to African libraries. The economic crisis has had a devastating impact on the ability of African libraries to purchase books published abroad. This concern is not a new one for the ASA, but we must continue to work hard to noticeably alter this situation.

Fourth, the ASA is not a political organization, but I be­lieve its members are deeply concerned about how Africa is represented in policy circles. In this era of glasnost and a thawing in the Cold War, Africanists must be more vigilant than ever in monitoring how Africa is viewed and dealt with in policy arenas. One negative consequence of the changes now taking place in superpower relations is the possible further peripheralization of Africa and Africa-

related issues from the concerns of the First and Second World. The ASA must find new ways of engaging national policymakers on African issues relating to economic, politi­cal and human resource development.

Last, the ASA must continue to diversify its member­ship. Particular efforts need to be made to include mem­bers of the African diaspora in the Americas in the Assoda­tion's rank and file as well as its leadership. Much progress has been made in this direction over the past decade, but I feel ASA must continue to nurture this process to ensure the permanence of such changes.

Statement of Candidacy Cycles of morbid attention and neglect in attitudes to­

wards Africa have been reflected in the state of African studies, especially in the era of bi-polar conflict and euro­centric emphasis of the last forty-five years. In future, Afri­can studies will be concerned more and more with global matters, and at the same time with materials that continue to reflect the particular conditions and special characteris­tics of the continent. As the professional association of ref­erence, the ASA should help focus attention on the inter­section of world-class concerns and distinctively African phenomena. Through appropriate advocacy and discus­sion, the ASA can help project onto the global agenda the significance and relevance of African events and situations. Greater emphasis should be placed on academic scholar­ship and programs that concurrently contribute new knowledge and foster constructive social outcomes in Afri­ca, and in countries in relation to Africa. The ASA should by example and precept seek to represent at all times the importance of the subject of Africa, and the impact of poli­cies that influence and are affected by the course of African events. The Association should give particular thought to the challenge of sustaining its purposes within the interna­tional organizations and arenas that will become newly im­portant with the decline of the cold war. The ASA should promote fearless critique and thoughtful celebration of the African odyssey.

Statement of Candidacy The ASA must address itself more forcefully and more

systematically to two problems which threaten future scholarship on Africa, and hence, the future vibrancy of our organization: 1) the decline in funding to support indi­vidual research in Africa, especially funding for graduate students pursuing their doctorates, and 2) the budgetary crisis of higher education in Africa which has resulted in the near breakdown of some institutions with the conse­quent decline in research activity by faculty at African uni­versities and a drop in the number of Africans pursuing PhDs both at home and abroad.

The decline in funding opportunities for North Ameri­can scholars makes it increasingly difficult for the African­ist community to renew itself, and to infuse its ranks with new members. The problem is compounded by the fact that it arises at a time when the academic job market has improved and will continue to do so throughout the 1990s. Will the study of Africa be squeezed out, because relatively few people will be able to pursue research on Africa com­pared to other areas of the world <e.g. Eastern Europe, the Pacific Rim)? In this regard, I would like to see the ASA es­tablish a standing committee on research funding which would have two tasks: 1) to identify agendas for research 11 for which new funding might be available to both estab­lished scholars and graduate students, 2) to establish a ~\ working relationship with major funding agencies to create new funding opportunities in the humanities and social sciences consistent with the agendas identified under 1).

In respect to the crisis in Mrican higher education, the Association might, within the limits of its resources, seek to broker agreements of institutional exchange between Afri­can universities and those in the US and Canada. Such agreements enable faculty from African universities to have productive research leaves abroad at a time when lo­cal funds for such purposes no longer exist. They also smooth the flow of qualified graduate students from Africa to North America, yet require relatively modest levels of outside funding. And, they enrich the intellectual life of the host institution, especially where there is no major center of Mrican studies. ASA encouragement of such agree­ments would be a logical extension of the Association's in­ternational visitors program.

Paul A. Beckett Bio~aphical Information Present position: Assistant Dean of International Studies and Administrative Director, Foreign Language and Area Studies Programs, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Other positions: Associate Director, Mrican Studies Pro­gram, University of Wisconsin-Madison: Lecturer and Sen­ior Lecturer, Department of Government, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria (1969-76); Visiting Professor, De­partment of Political Science, Washington State University; Assistant Professor, Purdue University. Education: PhD, Political science and African studies, Uni­versity of Wisconsin, 1970. Research: Mrican political thought; Nigeria's highly edu­cated elite and the university institutions in Nigerian socie­ty (including Education and Power in Nigeria with James O'Connell); on Nigerian politics, political parties and de­mocracy in Nigeria. Present research on social class, consti­tutionalism and democracy in Nigeria. I grew up in the "bush" of eastern Washington State, and Mrica came as a revelation. The years of new indepen­dence were heady times, and brilliant teachers compound­ed the excitement. I soon left my first teaching job to go to a position at Ahmadu Bello University in Nigeria. I went on two-year leave from Purdue-but stayed seven years. The African past in Hausaland was living and tangible. No less so was the present-and the "New Nigeria" being built all around. To borrow a phrase from a possibly impeachable source (Beryl Markham's father), you could feel the future, "under your feet." I worked as a regular member of the fa­culty of Ahmadu Bello University, participating not just as a teacher and researcher but fully as well in institutional governance and development. I felt I gained enormously. There finally came a time to choose: stay for good or leave for good. We left. I taught briefly at one alma mater (Wash­ington State) and then another, Wisconsin, offered me a new job as Associate Director of the Mrican Studies Pro­gram. How could 1 refuse? That was 1977. The years since have gone fast. On the UW campus we have experienced and tried to deal with all the crucial problems of African

studies programs in the US: declining outside support; in­stitutional funding crises; generational faculty renewal; and maintaining the vitality of our links to Mrica. Beyond the campus I have worked in the ASA (most notably as Lo­cal Arrangements Chair for the 1986 Annual Meeting, and participated actively in a sister organization of the ASA, the Association of African Studies Programs.

Statement of Candidacy I would be particularly concerned with five issue areas:

Maintainin& the Connection. I fear that our fine relations with many individual African scholars, and our achieve­ments in increasing participation from Africa, may mask a widening gap. African scholars, especially younger ones, face ever greater obstacles including what amounts to a cri­sis of isolation from work outside Africa. Meanwhile, more North American scholars work in Mrica less and more su­perficially. The African Development Crisis. We cannot ignore the eco­nomic crisis and the callous manipulation of economic power by the West. I feel we all need to be concerned scholars on this issue. Self-interest also is involved: the danger to African higher education and research repre­sents a threat also to the future vitality and validity of our own work. Federal and Foundation Relations. We are the worst fund­ed of the major world area study professions. We are also at the end of a dismal decade of declining suppport for in­ternational education as a whole. I think that without aban­doning either our dignity or our status as a scholarlyor­ganization we can defend and promote the profession's interest more effectively. Renewin& Mrican Studies. We may feel that we just be­gan-but within a decade the generation of us trained in the 1960s---African Studies' "baby boomers"-will be mov­ing in increasing numbers toward retirement. We must en­ergetically promote the profession's renewal, encouraging, supporting and welcoming new people, ideas and issues, if necessary at the cost of conflict here and there. ASA Organizational Stren&thenin&. The ASA has devel­oped a worldwide role and consequent responsibility. Yet anyone who has helped organize one of our Association's annual self-manifestations learns with astonishment (feel­ing a little like Dorothy discovering the reality of Oz) how little so much is done with. Fortunately, much progress has been made in strengthening ASA as an organization. I think the Board can carry this forward: above all, why should the ASA not be better funded?

While generally unremarkable within my generation, my career pattern has been particularly heavy on experi­ence within an African university system and, subsequent­ly, in questions of organization, development and funding of African studies both on the institutional and (US) nation­allevels. I deeply respect and value our traditions of non­partisanship. But within that context I would like to be an

activist member of an activist Board of an activist Associa­tion.

Paul H. Brietzke Born in Chicago in 1944, I hold an economics BA (hon­

ors, Phi Beta Kappa) from Lake Forest College, a Juris Doc­tor from the University of Wisconsin and a PhD from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of Lon­don. The NEH and the German Academic Exchange Com­mission (DAAD) awarded me research grants. I am pres­entlya professor at Valparaiso University School of Law, having taught and researched at universities in England (three years), Malawi (three years) and Ethiopia (two years). While writing about antitrust law, law and econom­ics, and comparative law-Africanist scholarship is fre­quently deemed irrelevant in American law schools--I have published a fair amount on African topics: two books (one as a joint author), two books of teaching materials, 20 articles, and eight book reviews. These publications con­cern comparative law (with attempts to revise Eurocentric methodologies), an anthropology of law (land tenure, witchcraft and attitudes toward crime and punishment), the relationship between law and development (with at­tempts to avoid simplistic Western attitudes), law and poli­tics and human rights (especially the challenging right to development). I am fairly well read-in social science ap­proaches to Mrica and in African history and I try to fol­Iowan interest in the arts by attending presentations at ASA Annual Meetings.

In addition to the ACLU and other human rights organ­izations, I have long been active in the International Third World Legal Shldies Association (known by the tongue­twisting acronym of INTWORLSA), as Vice President (1979-87> and as co-editor of Third World Legal Studies. I placed an INTWORLSA Symposium on the World Bank in Vol. 27 (4) of African Studies Review, serving as Guest Editor for that issue and on the ASR Board of Editors from 1981 to 1986. I would promote closer collaboration between IN­TWORLSA and the ASA, if this were thought desirable.

Unable to find a suitable research and/or teaching posi­tion in Africa in recent years, I took a Fulbright to Malaysia

\ in 1988. Travels in Asia and discussions with scholars there \ i \and in the US drove home to me the £u11 extQAt to which Afri~ Africa,n studies are unjustly neglected. While ASian studies flounsh, a cyrucal and short-sighted geopoli­tics assigns a marginal role to Africa among government policymakers, curriculum committees at many universities and officials in foundations and the media. While the ASA has attempted to change these perceptions, we should use our collective expertise even more aggreSSively. This could most easily be done in the areas where a consensus exists among us: advocating an interrelated development and hu­man rights, and justice in and for South Africa. Africa has a few good friends in Congress and the State Department, but we should ''lobby'' hard to combat widespread ignor­

ance and "disinformation." Research grants are vital to building up and maintaining a knowledge base about Mri­ca in the public interest. These should be lobbied for wide­ly, stressing the intrinsic value of the arts and humanities and of Mricans' analyses of their own countries. Extensive/J1 and effective courses and media depictions are needed to give Africa an informed future among Americans. All of this is a tall order, but the ASA Board can (and does) chip away at these and other problems. Finally, I would pro­mote a distinctively legal perspective on African issues, a perspective often neglected by Mricanists but one which some American and African policymakers can more readi­ly understand.

Statement of Candidacy My candidacy centers on three related issues. The first

is the crisis in Africa today. This crisis is profound and multidimensional. Its roots go back several centuries. Last fall, the ASA took an important step toward focussing the attention of its members on the continent's contemporary economic, social, political and environmental problems when it established the Task Force on the Attainment of Self-Sustainable Development in Africa. The inclusion of African colleagues is central to the work of the Task Force. As a member of the Task Force and, if elected, as a member of the Board of the ASA, I would work to make the con­cerns many of us have for the future of Africa's people a central part of the ASA's ongoing activities: panels, round­tables, foreign visitors, and ASA publications.

The second issue on which my candidacy is centered is the historic, contemporary and future roles of African women. Through the work of the ASA Women's Caucus and many other concerned members, the ASA has made tremendous progress in recent years in the area of gender­related panels, roundtables and visitors. Unfortunately, gender-related papers tend to be segregated onto "gender panels." We need to build on past accomplishments by in­

I

tegrating gender issues more systematically. Through a dif­ferent approach to programming, we could see papers on African women appear not only on "women's panels" but on panels on environmental degradation, technological change, agricultural productivity, law, music, resistance movements and health as welL

Finally, as an ASA Board member, I would work to alter a disturbing trend among US undergraduates that has im­plications for Africa: the movement away from the pursuit of doctoral degrees. Africa-related research and teaching in our colleges and universities are critical to an enlightened and sensitive US public and to a US foreign policy that does not intensify Africa's already severe crisis. I propose to make an effort toward reversing this trend by working for the permanent inclusion of an undergraduate student panel at Annual Meetings whose participants would have their expenses met in part by the ASA. This would expose promising young students (US and foreign, especially Afri­can) to an important aspect of our profession and, hopeful­ly, encourage some of them to pursue a career in research and teaching.

GoranHyden BiQg!'aphical Information

Born, raised and educated in Sweden, I became interest­ed in Africa while preparing myself for a career as political reporter in the late 1950s and early 19605. As recipient of one of the first research fellowships of the Scandinavian In­stitute of African Studies, I went to Tanzania in 1964 to do field work for my doctoral dissertation. Encouraged and advised by the late James S. Coleman, I decided to devote my life to Africa and to teaching and research.

My teaching began at Makerere University in 1965-66 where I served as Visiting Lecturer. Upon completion of my PhD at the University of Lund in 1968, I was hired by the Department of Government at the University of Nairo­bi to teach Development Administration and Comparative Politics, the two fields with which, as a political scientist, I have been most closely associated over the years. Between 1971 and 1977 I taught courses in these two fields at the University of Dar es Salaam. After a sabbatical year at the Univesity of California, Berkeley, 1977-78, I returned to East Africa as the Social Science Research Advisor of the Ford Foundation, administering, among other things, a small research grant competition and assisting in other ways to build the social science research community in the region. I continued that activity after 1980 in my new ca­pacity as Representative of the Ford Foundation for East­ern and Southern Africa. I quit that job in 1985 and came to this country initially on a sabbatical leave based at Dart­mouth College.

I took up my current position of Professor of Political Science at the University of Florida in August 1986. Since about that time I have also served, on a part-time basis, as Associate Director of the World Hunger Program at Brown

University, responsible for the program's research work in Africa. Between 1986 and 1989 I was a member of the Sub­Committee on African Agriculture of the Social Science Re­search Council. In 1986-87 I was on the Advisory Commit­tee of "Low-Research Agriculture in Africa" project of the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA). As an affiliate of the Center of African Studies at the University of Florida I have been responsible for developing a research program on "Governance, Constitutionalism and Civil Society" in collaboration with three universities in East Africa. The project has recently received funding support of $182,500 from the Ford Foundation. I have served on the Editorial Board of Africa and currently occupy a similar position for the Canadian Journal ofAfrican Studies. I was recently ap­pointed member of a special Task Force of the ASA with responsibility for overseeing the production of a series of research papers to be jointly authored by African and American scholars on a select number of topical issues. Since the mid-1960s I have written eight books and edited/ coauthored another six on Africa in either English or Swed­ish. I have contributed numerous articles to scholarly jour­nals in Africa, Europe and North America. My two most recent books, Beyond Ujamaa in Tanzania and No Shortcuts to Progress, have been widely referred to and discussed by scholars on all three continents. My current research in­cludes work on governance issues and the institutional di­mensions of alleviating hunger and poverty in Africa.

Statement of Candidacy As a relative newcomer to the academic scene in this

country I have not been able to make a contribution to ASA in the past. In seeking election to the Board of Directors at this particular time, there are four issues that especially concern me. 1. The role of academic research in Africa is currently be­ginning to take on a new significance. In the 19605 and ear­ly 1970s a lot of research was done by both Africans and Africanists but nObody took it seriously outside the walls of academe. Then followed a period when governments be­gan to curtail academic research and, like donor agencies, preferred to hire consultants, pressed by deadlines and the need to satisfy client interests, this type of commissioned work has added little to our knowledge of Africa. Today, for the first time really, there is a growing realization among public consumers of our resaerch that it may mat­ter. Thus, a growing number of African governments are again opening the doors to academic research. Even in do­nor circles there is finally an acceptance that there are no shortcuts to progress. In its recently published longterm perspective study of sub-Saharan Africa, the World Bank echoes this opinion and stresses, among other things, the need for a better understanding of the African condition. 2. The sad irony of the present situation is that as this new recognition of the role of academic research is emerging, \ our African colleagues find themselves in increasingly dif­

II

ficult circumstances to perform their professional work. Thus, in spite of Africa's great short-term financial needs, it is important that investments are made to sustain and im­prove the research infrastructure for our African col­leagues. Given the growing recognition of the role of aca­demic research, the opportunity does exist to secure such investments, but the point needs to be made over and over again to donor institutions by both ourselves and our Afri­can colleagues. Otherwise, funds will go to other equa]]y urgent matters.

~\ 3. To be taken seriously, we, the Africanists in North Amer­ica, will have to demonstrate our own readiness to support research development in Africa. Collaborative research programs and efforts to overcome the "book famine" are important but our thinking must go beyond these relative­ly "easy" initiatives. ASA is particularly we]] placed to serve a key role in this regard. 4. ASA is a scholarly association. Its primary role is to pro­duce and communicate knowledge about Africa. But it must also speak on issues such as the conditions under which knowledge is being produced. ASA has an advocacy role on behalf of researchers both here and in Africa. As suggested above, this role may prove to become particular­ly important in the next few years as the opportunity to place research on the African center stage presents itself. If elected to the Board, I would wish to take more concrete steps toward realizing this opportunity to African and Af­ricanist researchers alike.

Research Interests: My research focuses on environment and development in sub-Saharan Africa. Specifica]]y, my work has examined the relationship between political econ­omyand resource management in rural Africa. Working directly with the governments of Kenya and Zimbabwe, Ione component of this work has been geared towards poli­ I

cyand project formulation. I am presently researching vari­ f ous aspects of agricultural development in southern Africa. The research goes beyond analyses of the present crisis to include case studies of successs stories. Focus is placed on the role of energy on agricultural productivity and the ru­ral environment, some of the socio-economic components of agricultural change/stagnation, and agrarian differentia­tion. I am also interested in drought and natural hazards research in general.

Statement of Candida<;y Many people fear that political changes in Eastern Eu­ ,t

rope will negatively impact development efforts in Africa. I While it is unlikely that Africa, the "Crisis Continent of the ! 80s," will become Africa, the "Forgotten Continent of the I 90s," recent geo-political changes present new challenges !

Ito Africanists and the African Studies Association. As a member of the Board of Directors, I would be particularly supportive of the following ASA initiatives: 1) Institutions of higher education in the US must be con­inually reminded of the importance of supporting inter­isciplinary African and Afro-American studies programs. me of our best work comes out of these programs which ~ I

I are important sources of information dissemination to stu­dents and the wider public. !2) We must continue to work towards the goals of main­ ! taining and increasing funding for research in Africa and in support of African educational and research institutions. ! 3) The volumes of research presently produced by ASA members could be more fully utilized in current policy de­bates. I believe that our mission must also include educa­tion about Africa with the objective of influencing donor agencies and policymakers. It is fundamental that this ef­fort involve as many Africans as possible.

It is more than colloquy to propose that Africa has ade­quate natural and human resources to achieve economic growth (l would also contend that environmental problems will be an important constraint to growth in Eastern Eu­rope). Progressive economic development-which includes

some combination of sustainable growth and grassroots democracy-will necessitate that Africa benefits more from domestic resources. This complex political and economic issue should remain a central concern to ASA members and the Association.

ASA ENDOWMENT The Board of Directors has agreed

to establish a modest endowment for the African Studies Association. Built with tax-exempt donations, the ASA Endowment will be managed to en­courage constant financial growth. It will ensure the long-term stability of the Association and over time may be used to support selected activities and a portion of the operations of the ASA.

As the ASA matures, the Associa­tion is increasingly drawn to expand its programs and activities. Four ma­jor awards are now sponsored by the ASA: the Distinguished Africanist Award for lifetime contributions to African studies, the Herskovits Award for the best book in African studies published in English each year, the Conover-Porter award for the best bibliographical or reference work in the field and the James H. Robinson Award for creative work based on a first visit to Africa. In ear­ly 1989, the Association joined the American Association for the Ad­vancement of Science! American Council of Learned Societies journals­to-Africa project, donating 100 copies of African Studies Review, Issue and ASA News on a continuing basis for distribution to African institutions. During the past decade, the Ford Foundation and other donors have contributed to the success of the Asso­ciation's International Visitors Pro­gram, which provides travel support to enable overseas scholars to attend

the Annual Meeting. ASA members have indicated their desire to continue the International Visitiors Program even should outside funding not be available. Plans are being made to ex­pand member services in the immedi­ate future by the production and dis­tribution of a biennial directory of ASA members. With expanded com­puter capabilities in the secretariat's Emory University home, there are in­creased publications possibilities available to the ASA.

Ideas for other worthy special projects are a constant in Board dis­cussions. However, the Association at present must fund all special projects through current revenues or grants. Since its founding, the ASA has worked to keep membership fees at a modest level, despite constantly­increasing costs for member serviceS. Our members' desire that the Associa­tion be more active nationally and in­ternationally in projects to promote the study of Africa prompts us to em­bark on the building of the ASA En­dowment. In this endeavor, we emu­late other major academic associations that have built substantial endow­ments which permit them to cover op­erating and special expenses. The growth and use of the ASA Endow­ment will enable the Association to hold membership costs to the lowest levels possible at the same time that we expand special activities and pro­jects.

We will be applying for a chal­

distinctive nature of African filmmak­ing.

ASA members may obtain a free copy of African Cinema Now! by add­ing $1 (postage and handling) to their 1990 dues renewal check. Non­members may purchase the booklet for $3 pre-paid from the African Stud­ies Association, Credit Union Build­ing, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322.

RECENT MEETINGS An international conference in

honor of Professor Thurstan Shaw, convened on the occasion of the scholar's 75th birthday, was held No­vember 20-23, 1989, at the Depart­ment of Archaeology and Anthropol­ogy, University of lbadan. Participants were mainly Africanists and Cultural Resource Managers drawn from Nigeria, Benin, Togo, C6te d'Ivoire, Ghana, Botswana, Tan­zania, Zimbabwe, Sweden, West Ger­many, France, Britain, and the US.

The main objective of the confer­ence was to review African cultural resource management disciplines, in particular archaeology, and to assess their role in the development of Afri­can countries. Papers reviewed the progress made in African cultural studies over the past 50 years in pre­historic archaeology, ethnoarchaeolo­gy, ecological archaeology, and art and material culture. Public archaeol­ogy and cultural resource manage­ment practices in Africa were re­viewed to evaluate how these might be utilized for development.

In making recommendations, par­ticipants urged students of African societies to emulate the example of Thurstan Shaw in their field behavior and publications. In addition, they made a series of recommendations for African governments, some of the most important of which were: 1) that African governments formulate and implement cultural policies whose goals include educating African pe0­ples as to the vital importance of pre­serving, conserving and developing their cultural resources, enacting ap­propriate laws to protect cultural re­sources and to retrieve those artifacts illegally removed overseas in the past; 2) that where agencies do not al­ready exist, bodies be set up to con­ceive and execute research programs in cultural resources development and environmental impact and vege­tational history studies, and 3) that African countries step up efforts to collaborate in cultural resource man­agement at regional and sub-regional

levels. Delegates were impressed at the amount and quality of archaeolog­ical research being conducted in many African nations.

Kit W. Wesler of the Wickliffe Mounds Research Center, Kentucky, reports that the conference proceed­ings will be published by Heinemann (Nigeria).

The Union of Afrialn Performing Artists News (UAPANEWS) of Febru­ary 1990 describes a workshop on theater for integrated development organized by the Nigerian Popular Theatre Alliance. Held in Benue State, Nigeria, from December 4-15, 1989, the event involved 50 partici­pants and resource persons from Ni­geria, Cameroon, Tanzania, Jamaica, Britain, Zambia, Trinidad and Toba­go, Ghana and the US. The following description is drawn from the printed newsletter text.

In one of the three villages chosen for the workshop, the theater workers found that the community was frus­trated at its lack of resources and tech­nology. A bridge needed to link the village to the outside world continued to be built as a temporary structure, subject to destruction by floods each year. A day secondary school had been removed, while the village pri­mary school was in a decrepit state and there were no health facilities. The villagers were angered by their belief that elsewhere, less productive areas had been better endowed with infrastructure.

The villagers participated in the theatrical improvisations, which were used by the group as a method of re­search into development issues. At the end of the nine-day workshop, vil­lagers and resource persons took part in a final performance. The villagers effectively took over the process and celebrated their lives. Having estab­lished a basic story-line from the earli­

er improvisations, in which such local traditional art forms as singing, danc­ing, story-telling, and "voice-echoing," were included, the final performance was as example, as one of the resource persons put it, "of a dialectical ques­tioning of changing consciousness."

The story was simple. A young man from the village goes to school and returns home on his first vacation to "great expectations." His life in school has turned out to be epicurean and his stay in the village can only be disappointing. He is chased away by his father, but returns later as a candi­date in the local elections, making all sorts of ridiculous promises.

He is challenged by another can­didate, more realistic, less pretentious, but without the charisma of the first. In the end, he too has to make silly promises to the electorate.

With the campaigning over, it is the tum of the electorate, some 300 members of the audience gathered in the village square, to question the can­didates. The exchange shifts gears. Re­ality replaces fiction. The villagers protest openly and refuse to be duped any longer. In the end, they decide to boycott the election and not pay taxes to the federal government. The theater facilitators become uneasy. What oth­er surprises are in store? A fictional government officer is introduced to question the people about their defi­ance and to threaten them. He is re­ceived in the village by a fictional chief in council. Soon, the real village chief intervenes, having paid the ap­propriate obeissance to the fictional one. The latter concedes his place in the play to the former. Reality/ fiction? A female member of the audi­ence moves into the arena cursing and advances to the fictional state agent whom she threatens to beat. The mo­ment is electrifying. None of this hap­pened in the "rehearsals." The fictional state agent calmly picks up a child from the audience and shows him to the approaching woman. She immedi­ately realizes the "play" atmosphere. A female singer in the cast takes up a

protest song and this is thundered by the audience. The village is in a state of "empowennent," but what next?

As the group of participants/ resource persons left the village on the morning of December 19, every­one was euphoric, but also apprehen­sive. Was the village capable of build­ing its bridge? Did this community have the capacity to actualize its defi­ance? Would the government (local government, state, federal) come to the assistance of the communi ty? Would MAMSER, the Nigerian Presi­dent's Office responsible for Mass Mo­bilization for Economic and Social Re­covery, provide the vital link to the village or would their defiance be met with state repression?

An International Colloquium on the Life and Work of King Glele (1858-1889) was held in Abomey, Be­nin from December 27-29, 1989. The scholarly event was a highlight of a twelve-day cultural festival commem­orating the centenary of the death of Glele, the last truly independent mon­arch of precolonial Dahomey.

Organized by Elise Soumonni, Chair of the Department of History at the University of Benin, the colloqUi­um included presentations by some 20 scholars from Benin, Togo, Nigeria, Haiti, France, the UK and the US.

Papers presented painted a por­trait of Glele the man and his reign­mate, Queen Zoyindi, and explored

the religiOUS, political and artistic ac­tivities of Glele's 31-year reign. The audience, which ranged from 70-90 persons for the various presentations, included not only scholars and stu­dents, but also descendents of the Glele family who eagerly participated in discussion of the issues raised.

The scholars invited to the collo­quium representated a broad mix of methodological backgrounds, ranging from those whose work is based main­lyon European archival sources to those who work nearly exclusively with oral materials. The richness of the discussions, formal and informal, about nineteenth-century Dahomean history suggested that all appreciated the fruitful interchange from differing perspectives and the necessity of drawing on a variety of historic source materials.

The companion book to an exhibition organized by the Royal Ontario Museum, Into the Heart of Africa is lavishly illustrated with 16 full-color and 84 black and white photographs of objects and historical photos from the ROM's outstanding African collections.

Between 1875 and 1925 soldiers and missionaries from Canada travelled to Afri­ca to campaign on secular and spiritual fronts, amassing scores of artifacts on their journeys, for reasons that tell us as much about the collectors as about the people who created the objects.

Diaries and letters home bring to life the characters, cultures and events of a century ago, revealing a turbulent period of history, as Canadians participated in Britain's efforts to colonize and convert African nations. The objects themselves speak of the economic, political and religiOUS complexities of numerous societies, While demonstrating the superb artistry of their African creators.

Curator Jeanne Cannizzo explores these cross-cultural encounters, taking a criti­cal look at the institution of the museum and how the use of artifacts within its con­text expresses our own underlying cultural assumptions.
