Moore The riverain peoples of Northern Sudan possess an extremely rich oral tradition of story-telling. This volume is a selection of the tales collected by the authors and translated from the original Arabic. There is a substantial introduction which sets the stories in their cultural and social context, and offers a systematic account of their principal themes. ?10

Shona Praise Poetry Edited by Aaron C. Hodza and George Fortune The Shona people of Rhodesia have a rich and ancient tradition that expresses itself most freely in its oral literature. The poems in this volume have been collected by Mr Hodza, himself a Shona, and edited and translated by Mr Fortune, who also wrote the introduction. ?16

There Was a Certain Man Spoken Art of the Fipa Translated and edited by Roy Willis This important addition to the series presents the oral tradition of the Fipa of Tanzania. It provides insight into the thought and values of an African people who retain much of their traditional culture. Certain more unusual forms of 'spoken art' are recorded and discussed, notably greetings and 'formal communications', as well as stories and proverbs, and an introduction based on much original material places them in their social and cultural context. ?6.50

THE JOURNAL OF MODERN AFRICAN STUDIES

The Journal offers a quarterly survey of politics, economics, and related topics in contemporary Africa.

The main emphasis is upon the peoples and policies, the problems and progress of this dynamic and disparate continent; upon the many societies that are evolving rather than the essential characteristics of the old; upon the present, not on the more distant past. The best current work is sought from specialists in different academic disciplines, whose contributions can illuminate and cross- fertilise one another.

The Journal seeks to promote a deeper understanding of what is happening in Africa today. It is intended for both the political scientist and the practical poli- tician, the administrator and the advocate, the economist and the educator, the banker and the business man, the diplomat and the technocrat, the civil servant and the nationalist leader. All have something to contribute to these pages and, it is hoped, much to learn from them.

Editorial policy avoids commitment to any political viewpoint or ideology, whether imperialism, pan-Africanism, capitalism, socialism, or nationalism. Such concepts, however, have relevance to the modern African situation, and merit serious discussion, often from several different points of view, in order that controversial issues may be fairly examined.
