Eighteen of Africa's most distinguished scholars have contributed
to this major and timely work, including Claude Ake, Archie Mafeje,
Ali Mazrui, Issa Shivji and Joseph Ki-Zerbo. As a first step
towards greater consideration of the nature of the research
environment in Africa and to reflect on the social and material
context of research as an intellectual activity, CODESRIA
co-organised a major conference on academic freedom and research in
Africa in Kampala in 1990. A selection of the conferencepapers are
contained in this volume. The papers cover the relationship of
capital and the state to academic freedom, the historical processes
which have shaped intellectuals in Africa, issue of autonomy and
democracy andthe question of funding relationships, and the
difficulty of alliances that question the right to independence.
The book is divided into fivesections: Reflections; Methodological
Perspectives; Global Influences andLocal Constraints;
Intelligentsia and Activism; and Organizing Academics.
