"South Africa's "Black Market: How to Do Business with Africans
Western investors, project managers and business pioneers who wish to tap this dynamic market must master African marketing methods. Author Jeffrey A. Fadiman considers Africa as the West's commercial blind spot. We have ignored it since the 1960s and thus have never learned how Africans do business. This book sets out to fill this void, describing how one can use African methods to market African-style. It should be useful for the commercial exp…

Law and Crisis in the Third World
Transforming the Colonial State: Controlling the Bureaucratic Bourgeoisie
Many people assumed that officials’ self-seeking behaviour reflected their low levels of personal morality. That, however, generally led to bromides: ‘In the passage of time, given steady economic progress, loyalties will gradually move from family, clan and tribe to nationstate,’ ‘the spread of education,’ ‘the evolution of public opinion,’ and ‘the rigorous enforcement of the laws’ (Wraith and Simpkins, 1963: 208). To curb inevitable official c…
The Fatal Race: The Rise of the Bureaucratic Bourgeoisie
Voicing a populist, frequently socialist rhetoric,1 at independence nationalist political leaders assumed state power in new nations still defined by colonial capitalist laws and institutions. A fatal race ensued: would the leaders transform the institutions to favor the poor and disinherited? Or would the institutions transform the leadership (cf. Nzongola-Ntalaja, 1987)?

Towards Ending I.M.F.-ism in Southern Africa: An Alternative Development Strategy
In the 1980s, a financial crisis engulfed Southern Africa. Widespread evidence exposed the way that inherited institutional structures and technologies – reinforced by International Monetary Fund (I.M.F.) conditionality – had reproduced the region's poverty and vulnerability. 1 To overcome the crisis requires an alternative strategy built on theoretical foundations fundamentally different from the neo-classical models that underpin the ‘restructu…

The Need for an Appropriate Industrial Strategy to Support Peasant Agriculture
MOST economists agree that industrialisation should help to increase agricultural productivity and raise the living standards of rural producers. In the 1970s, however, manufacturing in sub-Saharan Africa, even including South Africa, grew at a slower rate than in any other region except South-East Asia. Furthermore, far from promoting the anticipated outcome, industrialisation in Southern Africa undermined peasant farm cultivation and contribute…
Family and Work in Rural Societies-Perspectives on Non-Wage Labour
The Political Economy of Customary Law in the Former British Territories of Africa
In assessing customary law two quite contradictory tendencies exist. Some approach customary law deferentially, even reverently. This constitutes “our” law. It expresses “our” values. We must nurture it. Others take precisely the opposite perception. Customary law constitutes the law of primitive tribes; we aim to become modern; ergo , we must do away with customary law. How to choose between these quite conflicting perspectives? We argue that to…

The Distorted Growth of Import-Substitution Industry: The Zambian Case
THE importance of industrial growth is widely agreed in Zambia, as elsewhere.1In the post-independence era, Zambia's manufacturing sector actually did grow at a rate exceeding that suggested by the U.N. experts as critical for attainment of the goals of the 'Development Decade' of the 1960s.2But the rapid expansion of manufacturing industry did not contribute significantly to the spread of increased productivity in all sectors of the Zambian econ…

Twenty First Century Africa Towards a New Vision of Self-Sustainable Development
Key Variables to Incorporate in a Model for Development: The African Case
Since attaining independence nearly every African government has initiated a national planning exercise founded on the recognition that the technological imperatives of specialization and exchange essential for modern development require large markets, large capital investments, a broad range of natural resources, and the training of skilled manpower-all of which require mobilization of resources at least on a national level. Plans limited to all…

Prospects for Africa's Exports
Two conflicting views have been presented in this Journal recently concerning the necessity for African countries to restructure their economies and reduce their dependence on exports in order to attain development.1 Rather than attempt to enter into the controversy in detail, I propose to describe the dominant characteristics of the world markets for the major exports of sub-Saharan African countries, which render export expansion by itself unli…
