In this book concrete facts are presented about the struggle for national liberation and development in the small West African peasant country, an independent republic since September, 1973. The focus of the book is upon the new society under construction in the liberated areas of the country, while the armed struggle against the Portuguese colonial army was still going on. The book takes account of the dramatic changes in Portugal and her former African possessions that occurred in 1974, including Portuguese recognition and United Nations membership of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau.

Survival on meagre resources : Hadendowa pastoralism in the Red Sea Hills

This is the first comprehensive study of Hadendowa Beja pastoralism in Eastern Sudan. The various chapters deal with the effects of drought and of human activities on the natural environment; the effect on pastoral migration patterns, and socio-cultural changes. The authors argue that the recurrent pastoral disasters cannot be blamed only on the pastoralists, but must be related to wider economic and political contexts, in which the pastoralists are becoming increasingly marginalised.
