The University of Western Ontario, London, played host May 7-9, 1971, to 17 participants and 10 observers representing several social science disciplines, for a symposium focussing on the relationship between different aspects of social change in Sierra Leone.
The symposium, financed by the Canada Council and the Canadian Inter- national Development Agency, discussed papers prepared by participants on those aspects of their current work on Sierra Leone having broad theoretical relevance. Among the themes recurring most persistently in the discussion were the fluidity of so-called "tribal" identies, the adaptibility of local political and social institutions in the face of exogenous change, and the constraints which limited the asymetry of power relations between central and local institutions.
The symposium, organized by a steering committee consisting of John Cartwright (University of Western Ontario), Milton Harvey (Kent State Univer- sity), Robert Jordan (SUNY, Binghampton) and Kenneth Rothman (Chatham College), provided a forum in which scholars all familiar with the same substantive material could bring their different perspectives to bear on each other's conceptualizations. The result was a fairly severe criticism of a number of concepts which have been used rather cavalierly, and a calling into question of conceptual frameworks which have been accepted somewhat uncritically as guidelines for research. More positively, the discussion suggested inter alia that considerable attention should be paid to the extent to which social changes in the colonial and post-colonial era have produced a consolidation of identities, and to the effect of structures through which power is exercised in the control of behaviour.
