The History of the Yorkshire Miners 1881-1918
This detailed social history is concerned with the workers in the Yorkshire coal industry, their union, and the broader mining communities in which they lived from the formation of the Yorkshire Miners Association in 1881 through to the end of the First World War. The author reviews the policy and performance of the union at the district level, its involvement in both national and international miners' organizations, and the experience of the uni…
Disability and the Notion of Human Development: Questions of rights and capabilities
From a rights perspective disability has come increasingly to be seen as less a matter of personal misfortune than of societal neglect and obstruction, and as much warranting claims on the state to ensure inclusion and equality as to prosecute a duty of care. This shift resonates with other transitions within international discourse, most notably the increasing prominence of the notion of human development, which emphasises the importance of equi…
HIV/Aids and older women in Zambia: Concern for self, worry over daughters, towers of strength
The HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa has exposed the way in which gender relations can place women in a particularly precarious position in respect of health matters (Ankrah, 1991; Baylies, Bujra et al , 1999; de Bruyn, 1992; Heise & Elias, 1995; Obbo, 1993; Ulin, 1992). As it advances, it is also evident that women do not face the epidemic as a homogeneous group, but as one which is divided by varying levels of vulnerability and varieties of response…
The Impact of Aids on Rural Households in Africa: A Shock Like Any Other
In areas where HIV prevalence is high, household production can be significantly affected and the integrity of households compromised. Yet policy responses to the impact of HIV/AIDS have been muted in comparison to outcomes of other shocks, such as drought or complex political emergencies. This article looks at the reasons for the apparent under-reaction to AIDS, using data from Zambia, and examines recent calls to mitigate the effects of AIDS at…
Safe motherhood in the time of Aids: The illusion of reproductive 'choice
Using data from research in Zambia, and drawing on the broader literature on HIV/AIDS,reproductive health, and gender, this paper examines the difficulties faced by women who wish -or are pressured - to have children, but at the same time want to protect themselves and their childrenagainst HIV infection

Overview: HIV/Aids in Africa: global & local inequalities & responsibilities
This issue of the Review is devoted to an examination of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa, an emergency which compromises the future of so many on the continent, yet is persistently underplayed. The depth of need it has generated has scarcely been measured and not even begun to be met. Although increasingly acknowledged to be grounded in social behaviour and systemic inequalities, HIV/AIDS is still treated predominantly as a health problem. At the…
The impact of HIV on family size preference in Zambia
This paper examines the way in which concerns about HIV infection are affecting thinking in Zambia about preferred number of children. It draws on research on the impact of HIV/AIDS in peri-urban and rural households in 1995, based mainly on in-depth interviews with 65 of 300 people who were initially surveyed. In spite of high levels of anxiety about AIDS in these communities, risk from HIV was not always associated with the act of conceiving ch…
International partnership in the fight against aids: Addressing need and redressing injustice
The XIth International Conference on AIDS and STDs in Africa (ICASA), held in Lusaka in September 1999, provided an airing of contradictions associated with the AIDS epidemic acknowledgement of the necessity for community based interventions alongside the elaboration of an international partnership initiative which lacks clear mechanisms for ensuring the incorporation of communities; affirmation of the unacceptability of the disproportionate burd…
The 1996 Zambian elections: Still awaiting democratic consolidation
On 18 November 1996 presidential and parliamentary elections were held for the second time under Zambia's Third Republic. The first elections, in October 1991, ended the unbroken grip on power enjoyed by the United National Independence Party (UNIP) since 1964 and returned the country to a multi‐party political system after 18 years as a one‐party state. UNIP was heavily defeated by the MMD (Movement for Multiparty Democracy) and Kenneth Kaunda, …

An international symposium on the ‘Social Sciences and AIDS in Africa’, held in Sali Portudal, Senegal, in November 1996, served as an important forum for bringing together English and French speaking researchers and AIDS activists. Jointly organised by Codesria (Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa), CNLS (the National Committee for the Prevention of AIDS in Senegal) and Ostrom (The French Institute of Scientific Rese…
Political conditionality’ and democratisation
The use of aid to impose political conditions on recipient countries, to further democratic and government reforms or to punish non‐compliance with earlier demands, is a relatively new feature of the international aid regime. This article evaluates the proliferating donor and academic literature emerging on the subject. At the heart of discussion of democracy/ governance policies are debates about transformation of the state, its relationship to …
Setting an agenda for change in Africa
This issue of ROAPE takes up a number of themes which have been a recurring concern of our contributors in the past. The pressures imposed by external forces and imperialist agencies, especially through the structural adjustment policies of the international financial institutions, are pervasive and inexorable, forming the context in which policy or political change must occur. But the internal impetus towards political change of state structures…
Challenging gender inequalities
It has been nearly a decade since ROAPE published its first issue specifically devoted to the situation of women in Africa, 'Women, Oppression and Liberation' (no 27/28, 1984). As Roberts noted in her Debates piece then, 'Feminism in Africa; Feminism and Africa', this was not the first time that articles dealing with questions of gender and women's struggles had been carried in ROAPE. But in highlighting this as an area of concern, no 27/28 serve…

Surviving democracy
The fall and rise of multi‐party politics in Zambia
The overwhelming electoral victory of the MMD in November 1991 restored multi‐party politics to Zambia and ended the UNIP monopoly of government which had existed since 1964. A coalition of forces disenchanted by economic decline and resentful of authoritarian one‐party rule, the MMD has moved swiftly to reduce the economic and social role of the state and to promote market restructuring in line with IMF conditionalities. An alliance of trade uni…
The politics of education and cultural production
The meaning of health in Africa
This briefing demonstrates some of the tensions which arise in trying to define and describe problems of health in Africa: the tension of having available only statistics of known inaccuracy, aggregated across all population groups; the fact that attempts to describe status of health classically rely on describing incidence of diseases. Likewise, in looking at attempts to improve health, there is a tension between, on the one hand states, whose p…
