Southern Africa Since the Portuguese Coup

edited by John Seiler

The April 1974 coup in Portugal markedly shifted political relationships in Southern Africa, forcing, among other outcomes, a clearer emergence of intractable differences within the region. The contributors to this volume present a careful exposition of events since the coup and an analysis of their implications. Reflecting divergent values and coming to differing conclusions, they confirm that no easy solutions to the regional conflict are at hand and that Southern Africa will for some time remain a focus for international attention.

John Seiler was formerly an associate research fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Georgetown University.

Toward the end of 1975 I decided to edit a collection of essays on political developments in Southern Africa. At that time, I was teaching political science at Rhodes University in South Africa. Regional events since the Portuguese coup in April 1974 had already made an enormous impact, first suggesting the possibilities of peaceful accommodation between South Africa and its neighbors, but then demonstrating the destructive impact in Angola of widespread international intervention (in the latter half of 1975). From 1975 to the present, events in Southern Africa have neared center stage in international attention, but, as these essays will show, outstanding regional differences are no closer to peaceful resolution in late 1979 than they were in early 1976.

In my invitations to contributors, I consciously looked for a variety of viewpoints but asked that in expressing their viewpoints they avoid jargon and polemic. Despite my deep respect for and dependence on a number of journalists writing about Southern African affairs, all the contributors were drawn from the academic field because I wanted detailed descriptions of recent events to be related to long-term patterns.

Three acknowledgments are in order. First, to the contributors themselves for their patient acceptance of my editorial preferences. Second, to the Group Chairman's Fund of the Anglo American Corporation for a grant that enabled me to hold a workshop on the subject of this book at Rhodes University on 24-25 June 1976. Preliminary versions of a few essays were given; and black and white discussants from South Africa and North America took part in a general discussion of some of the central themes of this volume. This informal meeting would have been unusual in South Africa at any time, but its setting just after the beginning of the Soweto student riots gave it special poignancy.

Finally, my thanks go to my wife, with whom I shared many South African experiences from 1972 to 1977.
