Guide

The relationship between democracy and socialism in Africa is now widely accepted as the burning political and social issue facing the continent in the 1990s. It is a testament to our authors that they have responded so well to our editorial insistence that they combine scholarship with contemporary relevance. This task involved thoroughly revising and updating a number of the chapters, which were originally presented at a conference held at the University of Warwick. The conference was sponsored by the Review of African Political Economy and was jointly organised by the Centre for Modem African Studies at Warwick University and the Centre for African Studies at Coventry Polytechnic.

Behind such inanimate bodies are the real bodies who make them work. It is a particular pleasure to acknowledge the central contribution of Mark Webber, who acted as conference organiser during the crucial months preceding the conference. He and Selina Cohen pulled out all stops on the days of the conference and ensured its smooth functioning.

Other colleagues who deserve mention are Sammy Adelman, Bjorn Beckman, Angela Brown, Doris Burgess, Lionel Cliffe, Della Cohen, Peter Gutkind, David Hughes, Charles Mavuso, Judy Mohan, and Roy May. They served on the Local Arrangements Committee, organised the creche, and remembered the 101 other things we forgot to arrange ourselves.

We would also like to thank the series editor, Paul Lovejoy, for his early support for the project, and Barbara Ellington, senior acquisitions editor at Westview Press, for her help. They, together with Mick Gusinde-Duffy, Deborah Lynes, and Stephen Haenel at the press, made this an easier book to complete.
