The Communist Movement at a Crossroads
This volume contains the proceedings and resolutions from three expanded meetings of the Executive Committee of the Communist International (Comintern) held in 1922–1923, while Lenin was still alive. At these 'mini-congresses', Communist leaders from around the world debated out major strategic questions and initiatives, from united front policy to the fight against fascism. The material in this book – much of it appearing in English for the firs…

To the Masses
Debates at world Communism’s 1921 congress reveal Lenin’s International at a moment of crisis. A policy of confrontational initiatives by a resolute minority contends with the perspective of winning majority working-class support on the road to the revolutionary conquest of power. A frank debate among many currents concludes with a classic formulation of Communist strategy and tactics. Thirty-two appendices, many never before published in any lan…
The Comintern in 1922
The Fourth Congress of the Communist International, held in November–December 1922, shows evidence of member parties outside Soviet Russia taking initiatives and exerting significant influence on central political questions before world communism. On at least three issues, all related to united-front policy, non-Russian delegates’ pressure substantially altered Comintern Executive Committee proposals to the Congress. A central role in this proces…
Toward the United Front
The proceedings of the last Comintern congress in which Lenin participated, now at last available in English, reveals a Communist world movement grappling to reconcile the goal of unifying workers and colonial people in struggle with that of pressing forward to socialist revolution. The principle of national parties' autonomy strains against calls for more stringent centralisation. Debates range over the birth of Fascism, decay of the Versailles …
Things Fall Apart Again
International economics and global politics are unfamiliar territory for many. However, the operations of institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (I.M.F.) have profound impacts upon the countries with which they treat, and these extend beyond financial issues and geo-politics. This article indicates how the I.M.F. has imposed 'conditionalities' in sub-Saharan Africa as integral elements of Structural Adjustment Pro…
Military Radicalism and African State Consolidation A Review Article
Geography and the study of third world underdevelopment re-revisited
Progress in development geography has been recently associated with the shift of the perspective on underdevelopment from a right-wing, conservative standpoint to a leftward, liberal-radical position. Marxism often conceals its message in obscure rhetoric with moral overtones on colonialism, slavery, poverty, and underdevelopment. Liberal academics have lamely acceded to the dogmas of this once-assertive ideology. Marxist view have exerted a stim…

John Parkinson's Long Acre garden 1600–1650
John Parkinson is best known as a herbalist, and particularly as the author of the Paradisus Terrestris of 1629, and the Theatrum Botanicum of 1640. Born in 1567, he was by profession an apothecary, being important enough to become one of the founder members of the Society of Apothecaries in London, in 1617.1 Parkinson served as a warden of the Society from 1620–21, but resigned from the governing body (its Court of Assistants) in 1622 and entere…

Beyond the Geography of Modernization

Urban Bias in Underdevelopment
Internal and External Forces Acting Upon Disparities in Sierra Leone
The investigation of African economies has been dominated by two perspectives. On the one hand, the neo-classical or diffusionist position views third-world nations as essentially repeating the same development path as occurred during the historical experience of the now-industrialised nations. This paradigm indicates that the barriers to the advance of these undeveloped economic systems are essentially internal, and that they include issues such…

Beyond the description of spatial pattern
This study is concerned with the factors affecting migration in Western Africa. The author suggests that the underlying factors influencing current migration patterns can be traced back to the experience of the region during the colonial era. The penetration of peripheral capitalism and the imposition of colonial administration are identified as the primary forces that led to the manipulation of migration by colonial authorities trying to induce …

The Migration to the Cities of West Africa
National governments, politicians, policy-makers, and planners have become increasingly concerned with the manner in which human populations have been distributed among the component parts of many nations in the Third World, and especially with the three key processes of mobility, fertility, and mortality. As alterations in birth and death rates tend to have far stronger national than regional components, and as such changes can only affect relat…
Periodic Markets in Sierra Leone∗
Periodic marketing systems were absent from southwestern West Africa in precolonial times because of the lack of significant interregional trade, generally low levels of suprasubsistence production, and unstable political and economic conditions. Trade was stimulated during the colonial period, but it was largely preempted by nonindigenous entrepreneurs, and it was channeled through the nascent urban hierarchy rather than through indigenous perio…

Is Continuing Urbanization Possible in West Africa
The countries of West Africa are currently undergoing massive urbanward migration. The process of growth and development which these countries have experienced in the colonial and post-colonial periods has been characterized by what geographers term the process of areal differentiation. In a spatial sense, employment opportunities and developmental changes have been extremely concentrated in a few areas, especially the cities; the rural areas, wh…
