SOCIALIST DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC INVESTMENT IN TANZA NIA, 1964-1973. By W. Edmund Clark. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1977, 319 pp. $25.00.

After an exhaustive survey of Tanzanian government spending, which documents the disjunction between Nyerere's rural-oriented development strat

egy and the allocation of government revenues (through 1973), Clark proposes that the Ujamaa program be "institutionalized" through strictly legislated guide lines for public spending. He fails to indicate, however, how his approach would circumvent the internal political problems which, as he himself points out, have thus far delayed and distorted Nyerere's goals.

SANCTIONS: THE CASE OF RHODESIA. By Harry R. Strack. Syracuse (N.Y.): Syracuse University Press, 1978, 296 pp. $15.00.

This study assesses the effectiveness of sanctions from a variety of perspec tives?giving them mixed grades ?but is most valuable as a compendium of information on Rhodesia's extensive international connections, overt and covert, since sanctions were imposed.

BLACK HEART: GORE-BROWNE AND THE POLITICS OF MULTIRA CIAL ZAMBIA. By Robert I. Rotberg. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1978, 359 pp. $15.00.

A tale well told about a British aristocrat, leader of the white Legislative Council of Northern Rhodesia, and the evolution over more than 50 years of his rather conventional white upper-class attitudes toward the "natives" into a fervent support for African nationalism that put him at political odds with virtually all his fellow settlers.

AFRICANS OF TWO WORLDS: THE DINKA IN AFRO-ARAB SUDAN. By Francis Mading Deng. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1978, 244 pp. $15.00.

As the son of a Paramount Chief from southern Sudan and a diplomat and minister in the traditionally northern-dominated (Arab) Sudanese government, Deng is well placed to understand the ethnic cleavages he describes and to assess the possibilities for overcoming them. Although too much of the book is taken up with transcripts of disquisitions by southern chiefs, the first and final chapters perceptively analyze methods for integrating diverse nationalities into one nation.

POLITICAL LEADERSHIP IN SIERRA LEONE. By John R. Cartwright. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1978, 308 pp. $17.50.

This thoughtful account of the contrasting political styles of the traditional conservative Dr. Milton Margai and his "bourgeois" brother Albert, who successively led Sierra Leone during much of the 1950s and 1960s, considers the

Marg?is' records on political and economic development in relation to that of other (and more "radical") African leaders. The author concludes that the obstacles to development are so complicated and formidable that ends and even

means bear only a tenuous relationship to results.

SOLDIERS AND OIL: THE POLITICAL TRANSFORMATION OF NI GERIA. Edited by Keith Panter-Brick. London: Cass, 1978, 375 pp. (Totowa, N J. : Biblio, distributor, $24.00).

This group of essays represents a successful attempt to fill in broad gaps in current analysis of postwar Nigeria; most interesting contributions are on

military reorganization by Ian Campbell and Nigerian "commercial capitalism" by Terisa Turner.
