Papers ensuing from a conference of the eastern Africa sub-region, convened by Codesria in Addis Ababa in 2003, as part of its thirty-year anniversary celebrations. The contributors explore different dimensions of the challenges confronting the countries of the sub-region, lending particular emphasis to historiography and the nationalist legacy. They stress the centrality of the role of the intellectual community, language policy and the management of diversity and multilingualism in the strengthening and restoration of popular democratic participation and state and policy processes. At the heart of the debate is the quest for an all-round project of regionalisation and renewal, and the ideals of autonomous development and social justice. 150pp, SENEGAL. CODESRIA.

Studies that confirm the potency of ethnicity as the basis for political mobilisation. The authors focus on ethnicity's relationship to the state, and try to account for the twists and turns that mark the history of this relationship in the postcolonial era. They consider a variety of factors - economic, social, cultural, religious, that account for the politicisation of ethnicity and the volatility of its relationship with the state in Eastern Africa.

American Evangelicals have long considered Africa a welcoming place for joining faith with social action, but their work overseas is often ambivalently received. Even among East African Christians who share missionaries' religious beliefs, understandings vary over the promises and pitfalls of American Evangeli-cal involvement in public life and schools. In this first-hand account, Amy Stambach examines missionary involvement in East Africa from the perspectives of both Americans and East Africans. While Evangelicals frame their work in terms of spreading Christianity, critics see it as destroying traditional culture. Challenging assumptions on both sides, this work reveals a complex and ever-evolving exchange between Christian college campuses in the U.S., where missionaries train, and schools in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. 248pp, USA. STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS.

Human rights nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are by definition not part of the state. Rather, they are an element of civil society, the strands of the fabric of organized life in countries, and crucial to the prospect of political democracy. Civil society is a very recent phenomenon in East African nations, where authoritarian regimes have prevailed and human rights watchdogs have had a critical role to play. While the state remains one of the major challenges to human rights efforts in the countries of the region, other problems that are internal to the human rights movement are also of a serious nature, and they are many: What are the social bases of the human rights enterprise in transitional societies? What mandate can human rights NGOs claim, and in whose name do they operate? This collection explores the anatomy of the human rights movement in the East African region, examining its origins, challenges, and emergent themes in the context of political transitions. In particular, the book seeks to under-stand the political and normative challenges that face this young but vibrant civil society in the vortex of globalization. 384pp, USA. UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PRESS.

The revival of the East African Community (EAC), comprising Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, is a significant development. The first EAC was regarded as a promising experiment in regional economic integration on the continent, but collapsed painfully in 1977. Its successor promises to place the region on a new developmental path, and also provides a litmus test for the notion that Regional Economic Communities (RECs) should serve as the building blocks for the NEPAD programme as well as an African Economic Community. As such, it provides scholars with an opportunity to confront some of the most challenging questions surrounding regional integration initiatives on the continent. Includes country profiles. 308pp, SOUTH AFRICA. INSTITUTE FOR GLOBAL DIALOGUE.

Eastern African pastoralists often present themselves as being egalitarian, equating cattle ownership with wealth. By this definition, poverty is confined to non pastoralist and socially excluded people and groups. This collection rejects the premise of pastoral egalitarianism and poses questions about the gradual creep of poverty, changing patterns of wealth and accumulation, the impact of diminishing resources on pastoral communities and the impact of external values of land, labour and livestock. Index, refs, notes, maps, tables, xi, 276pp, UK. JAMES CURREY PUBLISHERS.

The number of regional organizations in Africa has increased substantially over the past thirty years even though their success has been dismal. In addition to poor performance, traditional theories of economics cooperation are no longer relevant in explaining the existence of these organizations because African leaders have placed politics above economics. Using the East African Community as a case study, this book examines the creation, maintenance and performance of regional economic organizations by analysing the goals and activities of African leaders. 144pp, GERMANY. VDM VERLAG.
