Van Doorn ii EDITORIAL POLICY African Studies Abstracts Online provides an overview of articles from periodicals and edited works on sub-Saharan Africa in the field of the social sciences and the humanities available in the African Studies Centre library. Coverage African Studies Abstracts Online covers edited works (up to 50 in each issue) and a wide range of journals in the field of African studies. Some 240 journals are systematically scanned. Just over half of these are English-language journals, just under a quarter are French, and most of the rest are German. A few Afrikaans, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese-language journals are also covered. Some 40 percent of all the journals are published in Africa. Newspapers and weeklies, popular magazines and current affairs bulletins, statistical digests, directories, annual reports and newsletters are, with rare exceptions, not scanned. Articles from journals published in Africa and from leading Africanist journals published outside the continent are provided with abstracts. Articles from other journals, including journals on North Africa, are catalogued and indexed without abstracts. All articles are included in the African Studies Centre Library OPAC at http://opc4-ascl.pica.nl/DB=3/LNG=EN/ To be selected for abstracting/indexing an article must be at least two to three pages long, and have been published within the past two years (though some allowance is made for journals which have fallen behind on publication schedules or which, for whatever reason, have taken a long time to arrive). In a few specific cases, an article may be excluded on the grounds of subject. In particular, articles in the field of linguistics and those in the field of literature dealing with only one work are normally not selected. This also applies to purely descriptive articles covering current political events or economic developments, which could be expected to become quickly outdated, though this rule is applied less rigorously in the case of a country about which very little is otherwise published. Review articles and book reviews are not covered. Contents and arrangement In principle African Studies Abstracts Online is published four times a year. Each issue contains up to 450 titles with abstracts of collective volumes and journal articles. Items are numbered sequentially and arranged geographically according to the broad regions of Africa. There is a preliminary general section for entries whose scope extends beyond iii Africa, followed by a separate section for entries dealing with the continent as a whole. There is also a section for entries dealing with sub-Saharan Africa. Within the broad geographical regions of Northeast, West, West Central, East, Southeast Central and Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean islands, entries are arranged by country, and within each country, alphabetically according to author. Entries covering two countries appear twice, once under each country heading. Entries covering three or more countries are generally classified under the relevant regional heading. Each entry provides the conventional bibliographical information together with an abstract in the language of the original document. The abstract covers the essentials of the publication in 10-20 lines. It includes a description of subject and purpose, disciplinary approach, nature of the research and source materials (fieldwork, archives, oral traditions, etc.). Where applicable an indication of the time period, specific geographical information (such as names of towns, villages or districts), as well as the names of persons, languages and ethnic groups, are also included. Indexes and list of sources Each issue of African Studies Abstracts Online contains a geographical index, a subject index, and an author index, all referring to abstract number. The geographical index is at a region and country level. It refers to both abstract and page number, and for some may serve as a surrogate table of contents. The subject index is self-devised and is intended as a first and global indication of subjects. It follows roughly the main classes of the UDC, with categories for general, religion and philosophy, culture and society, politics, economics, law, education, anthropology, medical care and health services, rural and urban planning and geography, language and literature, and history and biography. Each category is further subdivided into a number of subcategories. Abstracts of items included under more than one country heading are indexed in the geographical index under each country. In the subject and author indexes they are indexed only once; the reference is always to the first time an entry appears. In addition, each issue of African Studies Abstracts Online contains a list of periodicals abstracted which provides information on title, current place of publication and ISSN of all periodicals from which articles have been selected, as well as indicating which issues of the periodical in question have been covered. A complete list of all periodicals regularly scanned for abstracting or indexing is available on the African Studies Centre website at: http://www.ascleiden.nl/Library/Abstracts/ As always, comments or suggestions are very welcome. iv GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page INTERNATIONAL General 1-8 18 AFRICA General 9-60 22 NORTH AFRICA General 61 51 Western Sahara 62 52 NORTHEAST AFRICA Djibouti 63 53 Ethiopia 64-72 53 Sudan 73-76 59 AFRICA SOUTH OF THE SAHARA General 77-99 61 WEST AFRICA General 100-107 74 Benin 108 79 Burkina Faso 109-113 80 Cape Verde 114 82 Ghana 115-123 82 Guinea 124-125 88 Guinea-Bissau 126 89 Ivory Coast 127-130 89 Liberia 131 92 Mali 132-137 93 Mauritania 138-140 95 Niger 141-144 97 Nigeria 145-157 99 Senegal 158-167 106 Sierra Leone 168-170 111 1 GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page WEST CENTRAL AFRICA General 171-172 113 Cameroon 173-183 114 Central African Republic 184-186 120 Chad 187-189 121 Congo (Brazzaville) 190 123 Congo (Kinshasa) 191-217 123 Gabon 218-220 136 EAST AFRICA General 221-226 137 Kenya 227-237 140 Rwanda 238-239 147 Tanzania 240-246 148 Uganda 247-252 152 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AFRICA General 253-254 156 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AFRICA Malawi 255-256 157 Mozambique 257-261 158 Zambia 262-265 161 Zimbabwe 266-285 163 SOUTHERN AFRICA General 286-288 172 Botswana 289-292 173 Lesotho 293-294 175 Namibia 295-299 176 South Africa 300-383 179 ISLANDS General 384 223 2 GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page Comoros 385 224 Madagascar 386-389 224 Mauritius 390 226 Réunion 391 227 3 SUBJECT INDEX A.
