Without actually advocating it, scholars from South Africa suggest the high probability that some form of federalism will emerge from the process of remaking that country after the demise of minority rule. They discuss such topics as the role of and challenges to the African National Congress, contending views of the economy, interactions between local bargaining and national- level political negotiations, and the place of the new country in a larger world that is changing nearly as rapidly. The 15 studies were presented at a 1991 conference in Leicester, England. Distributed in the US by St. Martin's Press. The CIP shows the title incorrectly.

In Dreams for Lesotho: Independence, Foreign Assistance, and Development, John Aerni-Flessner studies the post-independence emergence of Lesotho as an example of the uneven ways in which people experienced development at the end of colonialism in Africa. The book posits that development became the language through which Basotho (the people of Lesotho) conceived of the dream of independence, both before and after the 1966 transfer of power. While many studies of development have focused on the perspectives of funding governments and agencies, Aerni-Flessner approaches development as an African-driven process in Lesotho. The book examines why both political leaders and ordinary people put their faith in development, even when projects regularly failed to alleviate poverty. He argues that the potential promise of development helped make independence real for Africans. The book utilizes government archives in four countries, but also relies heavily on newspapers, oral histories, and the archives of multilateral organizations like the World Bank. It will interest scholars of decolonization, development, empire, and African and South African history.
