EDITORIAL PREFACE

T he idea of this symposium was originally developed in the inter-departmental African Seminar held during the academic year 19667 at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. That Seminar was attended by staff and postgraduate students from the School and from other colleges in the University. In this volume are included redrafted versions of some of the papers given to the Seminar; and to these have been added a number of others which widen the scope of treatment of the general topic. It is no longer useful to distinguish between these, however.

This symposium is not intended to be, and could not be, an exhaustive and definitive treatment of the nature and problems of the tribal factor in East Africa and of the interplay of factors and forces, institutions and values, interests and emotions, realities and phantasy, deriving from tradition and from the continued transition involved in modernization. Such exhaustive treatment is not possible. It would require consideration of virtually every aspect of human activity in a highly variegated region of Africa; and in any case there are large areas and important topics on which reliable information and understanding are still unavailable. Moreover, we are not dealing with a period in history, over and done with, but with the recent past flowing into the present and on into the future. Instead, therefore, we have sought to examine some of the more important aspects and themes, and to illustrate the general discussion with particular, selected examples.
