Economic Models and Practice in Africa
Economic models, like scientific paradigms, predispose actors towards certain patterns of behavior or practices. Over time these become accepted as normal practice which everybody is expected to observe or to follow. This is how theoretical orthodoxies are established. However, even orthodoxies rely on refinement of techniques. In economics this is widely recognized, as it guarantees competitiveness among various practitioners. The context within…
The national question in southern African settler societies
Development Literature and Writers from Underdeveloped Countries
This article deals with discussions of economic development among Turkish intellectuals in the 1930s, when the characteristics of a "Kemalist development strategy" were being defined. As an exercise in the history of economic thought, it attempts to show that those discussions anticipated many of the issues of development economics, a special field which appeared only after the Second World War. The discussion challenges the general lack of conce…

This article assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the …

Agrarian Revolution and the Land Question in Buganda
The Problem of Anthropology in Historical Perspective
In times of crisis there is an inevitable return to fundamentals. Questions such as the relation of knowledge to the world of experience are revived, often in a disharmonious way. That such a state of affairs obtains in anthropology can only be judged by the frequence which divergent views concerning the status of their discipline have occurred among modern anthropologists. Starting with isolated individual and intuitive insights and misgivings i…
The Ideology of 'Tribalism
This article challenges the pervasive use of "tribalism" in analyses of African societies. Mafeje argues that the concept is not an objective descriptor of African reality but rather a reflection of the perceptions and biases of European observers and their African "converts." He questions whether African history, if written by Africans themselves, would have employed different concepts and narratives. The author explores the ideological underpin…
