An Introduction to the Politics of Tropical Africa
This wide-ranging and informative introduction to politics in tropical Africa, first published in 1984, is essential reading to students, businessmen, government officials and economic advisers alike. Situating the contemporary scene firmly in its historical context, which stresses both pre-colonial and colonial heritages, he emphasizes how politicians are constrained by the past, the physical environment and the world’s economy, yet still retain…

Six Notions of ‘Political’ and the United States Supreme Court
Six different notions of ‘political’ are commonly used in discussions of the US Supreme Court. All six are familiar, but the distinctions among them are seldom carefully drawn. The six are: (1) purely definitional, in the sense that the Supreme Court, as an appellate court of last resort inevitably authoritatively allocates values; (2) empirical, in the sense that litigants use the Court to try to achieve their political purposes; (3) influence s…

The Strange Story of Judge Robert Bork and a Vacancy on the United States Supreme Court
President Reagan's nomination of Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme Court was expected by most people to lead to confirmation. It did not. This article examines the special importance of the vacancy created by Justice Lewis Powell's retirement, the philosophical debate which the nomination generated, the political and strategic calculations of the actors involved (especially the unprecedented level and nature of interest group involvement) and the …

Conclusion
Periodisation is a necessary part of ordering the past, but it does sometimes mask continuities. The history of white farmers in Marandellas does not fit entirely comfortably into three distinct and distinguishable phases; there is too much that continues from one period to its successor. Land settlement, labour, tobacco markets, for example, all presented recurrent and broadly similar problems. Nevertheless, Marandellas passed through three phas…
Slump, 1928–36
The collapse of the market for tobacco found the farmers in Marandellas divided. In March 1928 the South Marandellas Farmers' Association discussed at their monthly meeting a letter from the Umvukwes Farmers' Association requesting its support for the idea of quotas for tobacco growers and a compulsory selling pool. But the meeting, at twenty-five appreciably larger than usual, was so equally divided that nothing was done. On one thing, however, …
First Fruits of Immigration, 1907–19
Although the immigration policies of the Chartered Company were not as productive as the Directors had hoped, the white population of Marandellas did increase threefold between 1907 and 1911 and the imbalance between the sexes was markedly reduced. This encouraged significant developments in a number of areas important for the satisfaction of family needs, in educational and health facilities, in the improvement of communications, above all in th…
Recovery Through War, 1936–46
For many of those who had survived the First World War the rise of fascism in Germany was an ominous prelude to another conflict. Several officers from that war had in the 1920s bought farms in the Marandellas district and they now became vociferous in their call for action. Foremost among these was Major A. H. Macllwaine, DSO, MC. He had been in Britain during the Munich crisis and had been horrified by the unpreparedness of that country at the …
Growth and Affluence, 1946–57
Although farmers generally did well out of the war, they did not envisage dramatic improvements after the cessation of hostilities. When the Natural Resources Commission visited the district, the local spokesmen had stressed the precarious nature of agriculture; when the Government began to consider post-war settlement schemes, the North Marandellas Farmers’ Association doubted its wisdom, since they believed that agriculture would be very insecu…
Establishing a Presence, 1890–1904
White settlement in Southern Rhodesia was originally fired not by any sense of imperial mission, but by the prospect of a second Rand developing out of the mineral concessions Rhodes had negotiated with Lobengula, the Paramount Chief of the Ndebele.1 From the outset, the first pioneers valued their right to peg fifteen gold claims higher than their right to land and many of them had sold their land rights before they ever left the Transvaal. In a…

Is There a Burger Court
The history of the Supreme Court tends to be divided into historical slices coterminous with individual Chief Justiceships. One speaks of the Taft Court, the Hughes Court, the Stone Court, the Vinson Court, and the Warren Court. Behind these titles lies the implication that they can be differentiated in terms of something more than merely temporal variation; the Chief Justice himself must be the catalyst which is supposed to make each era special…
Party Allegiance among Europeans in Rural Rhodesia — a research note
The racial cleavage has understandably dominated most studies of Rhodesian politics. Cohn Leys claimed in the late 1950s that the European community maintained ‘a type of one-party system’ that sustained itself by uniting on race against all foes, rather than splitting along class or social lines. 1 The centrality of race has been challenged recently by Giovanni Arrighi, who argued that the policies of consecutive Rhodesian Governments could be e…
