DIRECTOR'S BEFORT
We have had a fine year, with superlative Fellows in residence. Njabulo Ndebele (Literature, National University of Lesotho) and Wilmot James (Political Science, Cape Western University, now University of Cape Town) were here throughout the year. Stanley Trap1do (History, Oxford University) came in the fall semester; Surendra Bhana (History, University of Durban-Westville) and Cecil Manona (Anthropology, Rhodes University) joined us fn the spring.
We also benefitted from the participation of Michael Ranneberger (State Department) and Kala Bhan a (Psychology, Durban-Westv 111 e) as Associate Fellows. The following made short visits to the Program during the year: Sheena Duncan (President, the Black Sash); Robin Hallett (British historian); Alan Mabin (Geography, University of the Witwatersrand); Louis Msukwa (Director, Center for Social Research, University of Malawi); Allan Nelson (Governor's Task Force in Connecticut on investment in South Africa); Pillay Pundy (South African Labor Development Research Unit, University of Cape Town); Gerald Shaw (Chief Assistant Editor, The Cape Times); and Charles Simkins (Economics, University of Cape Town).
The seminars, organized by Jeffrey Butler and Stanley Greenberg in the fall semester and by Leonard Thompson i n the spring, had very full programs and an average attendance of more than twenty-five. Nearly fifty people attended the fall workshop at Yale and forty participated in the spring workshop at Wesleyan. We also had numerous informal talks at lunch-time on Wednesdays 1n the Swiss Room, Berkeley College.
r- --- -=- - -- - In this Newsletter we include information about our former Fellows and their publications since they were here. We believe that this information is important for the record, showing as it does the considerable input they have made to southern African scholarship.
During the two years ending July 1986 we have been assisted by grants from the Ford Foundation and the Open Society. As we go to press, we are expecting to receive substantial support for the next three years from the Ford Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation and also, perhaps, from another major foundation. This will enable us to increase the number of Fellows in residence at a time from three to five. The following scholars have accepted our invitation to be here throughout the academic year 1986-1987: Halton Cheadle (Law, University of the Witwatersrand); Victor Machinga1dze (History, University of Zimbabwe); Jacob Mohlanvne (History, Vista University); and Mbulelo Mzamane (English, Ahmadu Bello University). Merle Lipton (African and Asian Studies, University of Sussex) will be with us in the fall; and Johann Groenewald (Sociology, Stellenbosch University) will join us in the spring. The past year has been more hectic than usual as events in Southern Africa have unfolded. My colleagues and I have been called on to lecture to numerous organizations inside and outside Yale and Wesleyan Universities. We have been consulted by people in the private and the public sectors. We have been asked not only about the past but also about the future. My retirement from the mainline Yale faculty will necessitate changes in the SARP directorate from July l this year. As in the past, all important decisions will be taken by the directorate as a whole. It is a great source of strength to the Program that all of us who founded it nine years ago, including Pamela Baldwin, are still intimately and vigorously involved in it. Diana Wylie, who joined the directorate last fall, will be Acting Director and will handle all the internal administration of the Program, while I shall have the status of Senior Research Scholar at Yale as well as Associate Director and shall be responsible for external matters, especially for coordinating the work concerning the recruitment of Fellows and fundraising.

Diana Wylie
During my first year of teaching at Yale, I spent my scant free time revising my study of a Tswana chieftain. I presented one revised chapter--on legal innovations and social change in Botswana--to the annual conference of the American Society of Legal Historians. In addition I gave several talks on South Africa to civic groups in New Haven.
-5- VISITING FELLOWS
Surandra Bhaoa: I came to SARP with the intention of completing three projects. Two of the projects are nearly complete. The first of these is the letters of M.H. Nazar who was a joint-secretary of the Natal Indian Congress from 1899 to 1904 and the first editor of the Indian Opinion from its foundation i n 1903 to 1906 when he died. The manuscript is being prepared jointly with Dr. James D. Hunt of Shaw University in North Carolina and will be submitted to the University Press of Natal in Pietermaritzburg. The second project consists of papers on i ndentured labour in Natal, and the manuscript will be submitted to a publisher in Yorkshire, England. The third project involved the revision and expansion of a two-part work completed with a colleague in 1984. The work deals with the diaspora of Indians in Southern Africa in the period before 1910. It is in this project especially that my presence at SARP offered me a marvellous opportunity--alas, all to brief--for wide reading and reflection. In this regard, Yale University's library facilities were invaluable. But nothing was of greater help than the SARP seminars in providing an extraordinarily stimulating environment for the kind of reflection that is necessary for an academic. To see even a wel 1 constructed paper subjected to nearly two hours of well directed and precisely articulated comments--with Leonard Thompson conducting all of this expertly--is to realise that there is no such thing as a perfect paper. Loose thoughts, ill-defined concepts, improperly researched topics (heaven forbid!) come under close scrutiny. All of this suggests that no piece of writing is beyond improvement. It is a sobering thought, but one that serves well the world of scholarship and writing.
The directors of SARP are to be congratulated for this excellent program. May SARP continue to thr1ve--perhaps with a littl e more light-heartedness outside the seminar! Finally, no SARP fellow can ever leave without saying thank you to Pam Baldwin whose quite efficiency and friendliness make the stay of the fellow very pleasant 1ndeed.
Wilmot James 11We invited James for an academic year," Stanley Greenberg once quipped (he is one of six directors who purportedly run the Southern African Research Program), "and he stayed." One does not easily nor without some embarrassment push the limit of one's welcome, however graciously it might be accepted by one's hosts, beyond the normal one to two semester tenure at Yale. To everyone's relief, after seventeen months at SARP, we are all happy to know that barnacles also have to move along, and that guests do have a sense of propriety.
-6- What has to be explained is not however my propensity to stick around, but why anyone would be so bold and foolish to stay at SARP longer than that required and expected. I assure you that it has little to do with Leonard Thompson's cultivated wit, Jeff Butler's effervescence, Bill Foltz•s kaleidoscopic wardrobe, least of all Stanley Greenberg I s dazzle. Did I forget Leonard Doob? Seriously, I worked quite hard over those seventeen months. An edited book (called The State of Apartheid, appearing at the end of this year), a book chapter on ethnic boundaries in South Africa--completely rewritten in response to some nasty comments made by SARP participants on that fateful day in Febtuary 1985--a journal article, two book review articles, and three preparatory chapters on South African gold mining; all completed thanks no less to the generous time made available by the SARP fellowship. My work (well, some of it) I presented to the SARP seminar, as 1s expected, and with measured control received wit and wisdom, darn good biting commentary, not to mention invaluable help, from a resourceful and clever (too clever sometimes, even by their own standards) group of scholars, aspirant scholars and, well, shall we say, the frontbenchers whose favorite phrase of introduction -- "It seems to me that••• " (perhaps you rewrite your entire paper?) -- I remember only to never use it. Vanity should not be a public thing, but SARP ought to dwell on the fact that its seminar is pretty darn good as seminars go. I confess that I did my little bit; never skimmed a paper, prepared commentaries carefully, and took the whole business seriously. At times the seminar was not very kind to the papers presented -- testimony perhaps to zealous enthusiasm at getting things right rather than bad faith -- but this was rare. I always enjoyed the workshops. I attended three in all (the last one at Jeff Butler's Wesleyan) and think that they are a good idea, for scholarly and social reasons. It might be a better idea to give the workshops some direction, assign them thematic content, in step with current events in South Africa. How about, for example, a workshcr. on township violence and the breakdown of governance, or on right-wing ideologies and mobilization, topical and of abiding i nterest to all of us concerned, Indeed, whether SARP likes it or not, it is and will become even more of an intel lectual guiding light to American responses to the South Af rican crisis, and the workshops can serve as academic signposts. While I am on the subject of convnercial politics, my affiliation with SARP got me, for better or for worse, i nvited to many, some distant, places. I advised (or i ll-advised) gatherings of various sizes three times at Harvard, two times at St. Michaels College (Vermont), once each at Austin College (Texas), U Conn, Vanderbilt, Hobart and William Smith Colleges (New York); I also spoke to teachers at a New Haven high school, a church group in Fairfield, and to the US Secretary of State's Advisory Committee on South Africa. A lot of talking about the same thing, more or less, but one cannot talk enough about that exotic, painful place on the tip of the African continent. SARP's most obvious shortcoming is purely organizational. When fellows arrive from wherever they arrive from, in New Haven, they should literally be taken by the hand from the train station (or limo) , to their housing and through the Yale environment. Believe it or not, New Haven is not an easy place to settle into, and SARP could help a great deal by doing little

place to settle 1nto, and SARP could help a great deal by doing little things to ease the process. After the 1n1t1al orientation, fellows can obviously take care of themselves. Which 1s all simply to conclude that life at SARP was tremendously stimulating, productive and enjoyable. Pamela Baldwin is terrific, and along with all the friends and associates at Yale, I will miss the place and its people greatly.
Ceco Manona
At the end of 1985 I had just completed fieldwork for my doctoral dissertation on the migration of blacks from white-owned farms in the Eastern Cape to Grahamstown. I was therefore in a desperate need for time to write the dissertation and it was a great pleasure to accept an invitation to be a visiting fellow of the Southern African Research Program from January to June 1986. I wish to thank Leonard and the Associate Directors of SARP for enabling me to participate in the program. I was able to work at a steady rate and managed to complete a first draft of the dissertation. The Wednesday seminars were always stimulating and offered me new ways of pursuing my own work. I think the success of the seminar series l 1es mainly in the merging of the scholarship of various disciplines. I was able to present papers which are related to my dissertation at the Anthropology Department at Yale and at a workshop on •consciousness' at Harvard University. The lunch hour talks were infonnative and provided an opportunity to meet and talk to SARP participants i nformally. In addition, the fellowship offered the opportunity to inform some students and other people about the latest developments in South Africa: I gave two lectures to students at the Southern Connecticut State University and addressed the Annual General Meeting of the Yale University Women's Organization. This was of mutual benefit in that I have been able to learn a great deal about the American society and fol lowed with interest the debate about the •new poor' in this country. The close examination of the position of blacks fn America will certainly give me a better understanding of the South African black society. I hope SARP will continue to offer this invaluable service to scholars dealing with Southern Africa.
Njabulo NdebeJe If one of the aims of SARP is to provide the opportunity for Visiting Fellows to write and to pursue their research interests, then I could say that I found that opportunity extremely valuable. Also very valuable, when one was not working alone, was the opportunity to participate 1n SARP's very rigorous weekly seminars.
-8- While here, I had the opportunity to pursue two aspects of my work: academic research in the field of African Literature in South Africa, and creative writing. In the first semester I concentrated on the former. Two papers resulted from this effort. The first was a critical study of post-1976 African short fiction in South Africa. The second was a proposal to do extensive research in the history of African Literary Theory in South Africa. This proposal was presented at the SARP Workshop 1n the first semester, where I received extremely valuable comments from the participants. This, no doubt, is a lengthy project that will be undertaken over several years. ~ly second project did not work out as well as I woul d have liked. I found that the SARP format of weekly seminars to attend and weekly papers to read and COIMlent on rigorously did not provide an ideal environment for a creative writer. This is a point to be seriously considered in future if writers are ever to be invited. The weekly external demands on my concentration meant that I often found it difficult to regain my concentration to the required level, especially with the accompanying thought that there would be yet another seminar to prepare for. Nevertheless, I was able to make a start on my novel, 1n addition to completing a children's story and two short stories al l of which could easily be accommodated within the weekly SARP routine. Four more comments seem appropriate. Firstly, SARP has to be commended for having not only recognized the presence of Black Southern African scholars, but also for establishing contact with t hem. I am certain that such contact will be extended and enriched in the coming years. Secondly, it seemed to me that the settling in of visiting fellows can be streamlined somewhat, especially in the busy first semester. Fellows with families particularly need a lot of assistance to settle in quickly so that their time here can be used as efficiently as possible sson after their arrival. Thirdly, it has also seemed to me that SARP could play a more visible role in deepening interest in Southern Africa among the Yale and New Haven communities. For example, there seems to be a need for the establishment of some kind of data base on Southern Africa for more readily available information on Southern Africa. It is possible, of course, that this kind of role for SARP may have been deemed inappropriate at the time the program was started. But, with Southern Africa so much in the news, perhaps a short term project of this nature may be feasible, or any other kinds of activities that may help to provide information and analysis to the public. Lastly, while the workshops have been most useful and certainly need to be continued, I have often wondered about the efficacy of bringing in distinguished scholars from other parts of the country for what is really a one day's activity, without getting more out of their presence. Perhaps, for example, the workshop could go hand-in-hand with a symposium on some topical issues with a panel consisting of some of the distinguished invitees.
-9- I will remember wfth great fondness the camaraderie of the SARP community. In this regard I wish to take the opportunity to wfsh Professor Leonard Thompson the very best when he leaves the stewardship of SARP. He has every reason to look back with satisfaction. Many thanks to Pam Baldwin for her patience and helpfulness, and to all the directors and graduate students of SARP.
ASSOCIATE FELLOWS
Kala Bbaoa My association with SARP as an associate fellow has been concurrent with my appointment in the Psychology Department as a visiting scholar. For th is report I w111 limit my comments to those that perta 1n to my SARP affiliation. I derived major benefits from attending the weekly seminars. The coming together of very able persons results in a dynamic which extends one's thinking 1n novel and creative ways . To maximise this potential requires an efficient cha1 rperson. Professor Thompson is to be commended for his unobtrusive but controlled guiding of this dynamic. My affiliation gave me the incentive to organize and complete a paper for which I had the raw data. The seminar presentation of this and the ensuing debate and feedback helped clar1fy many thoughts and ideas. The result will be a paper, which I am sure, would reflect the benefits of such vigorous discussion. SARP also provided an opportunity for dialogue and discussions on many other issues wfth colleagues. The seminars, lunch time meetings and other casual opportunities for interaction enable one to see issues from different perspectives, help distinguish between logical and non-logical and between affective and reactional modes of argument, and in the final analyses help one become a better academic and hopefully a wiser person.
-10- M1chaeJ Ranneberger Participating in the Southern African Research Program has been a rewarding dimension of my year's leave frolii the State Department. I have tried to bring to SARP the insights of a practicing diplomat who has been closely involved in U.S. diplomacy in southern Africa. In return, I have greatly benefitted from the perspective of SARP participants, and I have broadened my understanding of the region. The SARP response to my lunch talk in October, the paper I presented in December offering an interpretative overview of U.S. policy on Angola/Namibia since 1976, and my luncheon presentation in April on current aspects of U.S. policy were helpful for the project that I have been involved in at the Council on Foreign Relations.
I have spent most of the past year as an International Affairs Fellow fn residence at the Council. In addition to participating in activities ranging from a Study Group on South Africa to helping set up a special program of morning meetings on South Africa, I have been working on a monograph treating the evolution of American policy in southern Africa from 1976 to the present, focusing particularly on the interrelationship between Angola and Namibia in U.S. policy. I have asked Bill Foltz to participate 1n a group at the Council to review the manuscript, which I hope can be published later in the year.
In August I will be taking up my new post as Deputy Chief of Mission at the American Embassy in Maputo, and assuming the status of an active SARP alumnus.
