FROM THE SECRETARIAT

Preparation of the spring issue of ASA News coincides with the arrival of literally hundreds of proposals for pashypers and panels for the Annual Meeting - what we have come to call the March Deluge Each year we try to refine our system for tracking panels and their members and for keeping up with the membership status of ASA Annual Meeting participants

This year each person who submits a proposal is being sent an acknowledgment from this office The acknowledgshyment to individual paper proposers indicates ASA memshybership status (membership is required unless waived for program participants) We hope these letters will serve as a timely reminder to members who may have mislaid their December renewal notice

Panel chairs are being sent notice of the membership status of their panel members We regret being unable to contact individual panel members directly but panel proshyposals typically do not include complete enough addresses for us to reach individual members

Correspondence about the acceptance of proposals will originate from the office of the Program Chair Victor Le Vine of Washington University Individuals who wish to check on the status of their proposals or who wish to othershywise discuss their presentations may contact Dr Le Vine at African and Afro-American Studies Washington Universishyty Campus Box 1109 St Louis MO 63130-4899 (Phone 314-889-5216314-889-5867 and FAX 314-889-5856)

We have received a number of nominations for the ASA International Visitors Program Funding is not confirmed at this point but we remain hopeful that we will have a Program again this year Panel organizers who have nomishynated colleagues to the International Visitors Program need to be aware that only one in five nominees is funded Decishysions are made by the Boards Development Committee members and are announced by the end of May

Look for the preliminary program in mid-July and be sure to make your travel plans early The November 23-26 dates mean that we end on the Tuesday before the Thanksshygiving holiday

And if you havent yet renewed your ASA membership send your check today This is the last pubication that will be sent to individuals who do not renew for 1991

OUR ENDOWMENT IS GROWING We were delighted to receive gifts and pledges from

179 members who added a tax-deductible (in the US) conshytribution to their 1991 dues renewals Their generosity will help us as we seek to make the first goal for receipt of our matching funds from the National Endowment for the Hushymanities $40000 in donations by July 31 1991

Income from the ASA Endowment will be used for three areas of program activity that we are currently unashyble to support from operating revenues 1) outreach proshyjects 2) international contacts among scholars and 3) ASA publications Our short-term interests in using endowment income center on supporting current directions and proshyjects that are not now funded The ASA Outreach Commitshytee for example has proposed a series of worthy projects that include the compilation of a resource guide for Afrishycan studies the creation of a guide for doing African studshyies outreach workshops and the development of modules for integrating African studies into non-Africa courses Our highly successful International Visitors Program has proved its effectiveness in enriching the Annual Meeting but needs more permanent sources of funding The African Studies Association Press is actively developing publicashytion projects in four areas Africa in the Classroom the arts medical studies and reference materials Printing and distribution is expensive and needs more support than is

now available If you have not yet given to the 1991 campaign we

would welcome your check or pledge We urge you to conshysider one of our two special pledge levels

Friends of the ASA - persons who pledge $100 per year for three years

Benefactors of the ASA persons who pledge $1000 over the three-year campaign (payable in installments of $335) Benefactors will receive complimentary registration for the 1991-93 Annual Meetings

LETTERS Dear Dr Bay

I would like to thank you Dr Lashymouse-Smith and Dr Adell Patton for playing an instrumental role in making the African Studies Associashytions tribute to E Franklin Frazier possible Both the Saturday morning panel session on his life and work and the reception which was held the Friday evening before the session were successful

Since the Baltimore meeting I have become aware that my stateshyment on Professor Frazier liE Frankshylin Frazier ASA First African Amerishycan President and a Son of Baltimore has generated a debate as to whom the recognition of the first elected president of the association belongs The principals on which the debate centers are Frazier and Dr Robert Cummings who was presishydent of the ASA in 1985 The primary concern issues from an erroneous declaration that the African Studies Association elected Frazier as presishydent in 1963 Factually Frazier was elected to the office of vice president in 1962 a position from which under ASAs by-laws the encumbent autoshymatically accedes to the presidency Factually Cummings was elected vice president in 1984 and served as president in 1985 making him the first African American to serve a term as president of the ASA

The statement which appears in the program for the Thirty-Third Anshynual Meeting of ASA was not intendshyed to diminish the accomplishment of my fellow colleague Professor Cumshymings Rather it was an attempt to recognize the pioneering works of one of this countrys foremost scholshyars on the African American experishyence

Dear Dr Bay

We spotted an announcement in the newsletter a month or so back for your 1991 calendar Men and Women of Power Africa in Historical Photoshygraphs We ordered two copies one for a Christmas gift to ourselves and one for a friend

To our surprise on receipt of the calendars we leafed through them and came to July discovering Eliot Elisofons photo of the father and two brothers of one of oUT colleagues (and immediate past department chair) in the History Department at the Unishyversity of Lubumbashi He was born the year of the photo but immediately recognized which of his many brothshyers the two were One has been a Zairian politician and lives in Kinshashysa the other back in the royal village Our other friend lost his intended Christmas gift as it seemed only right to give it to Professor Belepe

For the sake of historical accuracy we would point out an error unshyderstandable for a visiting photograshypher which Professor Belepe noshyticed so it can be corrected for any future use of the photo There has been a confusion among three Kuba kings wi th similar names

Mbop Mabiinc maMbeky1916-1919 Kwete Mabiinc maKyen 1919-1939 Mbop Mabiinc maK yen 1939-1969

As the date of the photo indicates it is the third of these who is pictured here and so the third name is incorrect as is the beginning date of his reign

We are delighted with the calenshydars and sincerely hope that the ASA will repeat the fund-raiser again in 1992

The following letter to James Baker Secretary of State was shared with us by PeArl T Robinson President TransAfrishyca Boston Chapter

Dear Secretary Baker We in the Boston Chapter of Transshy

Africa are concerned that the US Govshyernment make the most positive conshytribution it can to the restoration of peace and security in Liberia and a transition to honest competitive and open elections for a constitutionally legitimate government of that beleashyguered country In keeping with this concern we emphasize the following beliefs

1) The peace and transition plan being implemented by the ECOW AS states offers the best hope that the tragically abused people of Liberia have to achieve a reasonably prompt restoration of law and order and a peaceful workable transition to deshymocracy The ECOWAS state should receive the commendation of the US government and whatever financial and diplomatic support we can give to ECOW AS to help it to carry the inishytiative to a successful conclusion

2) As a central part of the ECOWshyAS transition plan and reflecting the choice of the broadest meeting yet held of the substantial political groups of Liberians the Interim Govshyernment headed by Dr Amos Sawshyyer a person of proven integrity and competence has now taken up resishydence within the country We believe that the IG should receive the recogshynition and support of the US Governshyment The White House or State Deshypartment should immediately make that intention clearly evident

3) Distribution of food and other relief supplies should not be made subject to political criteria Donor agencies and organizations should provide such material and foodstuffs as they can to any other ports and regions of the country able to receive them However inspection by the

Interim Government or the ECOMOG forces of relief shipments coming into the country is a reasonable requirement in our view

4) Now that the Interim Government is in residence within the country the US after extending recognition should resume its economic and emergency assistance to that country working through the Interim Government Further working through the Interim Government the US should unblock all non-lethal assistance provided for Liberia under any of the pending or previous authorizations of assistance and in fact should expand its assistance program to help meet the acute needs for food and health relief resettlement of refugees and displaced persons and restoration of

basic services 5) The US should assist in the

immediate evacuation of refugees from Monrovia and elsewhere There is especially a need to provide security and safe passage for the thousands of persons at the Presidential Palace many of whom come from the former Presidents region or were associated with his regime and now fear for their lives Safe passage and refugee camp arrangements would be needed until these people can safely return to their homes

Liberia is too dose and important a friend of the US and has suffered too much already in which suffering we are complici t to merit being ignored or manipulated by our government in a period of such acute need and such

In Memoriam Gwendolen Carter Gwendolen M Carter died in

Orange City Florida on 20 February 1991 Her life spanned the extraordishynary events and transformations of the twentieth century and she was an active observer and participant in many of them She reached out to people and they in turn saw in her someone who would champion their causes and respond to their needs Human beings rather than detached institutions or political structures were at the center of her political analyses Her particular concern with Africa and her in-depth involvement with South Africa drew her into drashymatic circumstances She discussed politics with Kwame Nkrumah and saluted Nelson Mandela as he was led out of the courtroom to life imshyprisonment

Gwen Carter was born in Hamilshyton Ontario and received the BA from the University of Toronto in 1929 She then went to Oxford Unishyversity where she also received the BA in 1931 She was a member of the faculty of McMaster University at Hamilton Ontario from 1932 to 1935

before returning to Oxford to comshyplete the MA degree in 1936 In 1938 she was awarded the PhD from Radshycliffe College of Harvard University She taught at Wellesley College from 1938 to 1941 and at Tufts College in 1942-43 before joining the faculty at Smith College where she remained from 1943 to 1964 and where she was named to the Sophia Smith Chair of Political Science in 1961

In 1964 she was invited to become the director of the African Studies Proshygram at Northwestern University and was appointed the Melville J Hersshykovits Professor of African Affairs In 1974 she agreed to join the faculty of the African Studies Program and the Political Science Department of Indiashyna University and for the next ten years she enlivened the intellectual life of her colleagues and students In 1984 she accepted an offer from the University of Florida where she taught until 1987 Her international stature was recognized by the confershyral of honorary degrees from 13 unishyversities in the United States and Canshyada the George V Medal for Public

promise for renewal To continue to hesitate in

supporting the Interim Government headed by Dr Sawyer and to continue to encourage fighting forces to believe that some better arrangement than the Interim Government offers might corne to them through US influence as we believe that some US officials have done only prolongs the suffering of the Liberian people and impedes real progress toward full democratic and constitutional government in that country

We hope that you will give your most conscientious attention to the points we raise and take appropriate action

Pearl T Robinson TransAfrica Boston Chapter

Service in 1935 the Achievement Award of the American Association of University Women in 1962 and the Distinguished Scholar Award of the ASA in 1978 She was president of the African Studies Association in 1958shy59 president of the New England Poshylitical Science Association in 1959-60 and vice president of the American Political Science Association in 1963shy64 In the 19405 she became an Amerishycan citizen and was frequently called upon as a consultant by government agencies and private organizations She was a member of the board of the African-American Institute for more than 20 years

Gwen Carter continued to publish and to be professionally engaged into her 80s Her publications which spanned a period of more than 40 years are her enduring and impresshysive legacy to all of us as well as to fushyture generations of scholars Her work ranged from her first book in 1947 on the British Commonwealth to numerous other books articles and essays The Governments of Great Britshyain France and the Soviet Union

which she coauthored with John H Rainey in 1949 was followed by five editions with John Herz For many years this was the preeminent text in comparative politics in departments of political science throughout the United States In the Preface to the first edition Carter and Rainey summed up their perspective Their approach aimed to depict governshyments as a living complex of activities and arrangements which change and develop in response to the character needs desires and purposes of hushyman beings Gwens concern with political power and its effects on peoshyples lives led her to an extensive stay in South Africa in the 1950s and reshysulted in her pioneering study The Politics of Inequality South Africa Since 1948 Some of her comments in the Inshytroduction to the book epitomize Gwens academic beliefs and commitshyment [TJhroughout most of my two substantial periods of investigation in [South Africa] I was far more conshycerned with understanding the points of view and character of action of the different groups in the community than judging them No one who goes to South Africa for a serious study of the situation can ultimately avoid judgements But to the best of my abilshyity I have tried to separate facts and analysis from such judgements and to let the former speak for themshyselves On trips to South Africa Gwen met and interacted with politishycal and intellectual leaders at every level She made lifelong friends throughout the country and became a symbol of a caring outside world This was the crucial period of the imshyplementation of apartheid and Gwens insights provided scholars and policymakers with an undershystanding of what was happening in South Africa

Her monumental work From Protest to Challenge A Documentary History of African Politics in South Afrishyca 1882-1964 which was edited with Thomas Karis Sheridan Johns and Gail Gerhart is a collection of annoshytated documents and essays chronishy

cling African nationalism in South Afshyrica and the struggle for political s0shy

cial and economic rights Without Gwens efforts to collect preserve and protect these documents many of them would certainly have been lost In particular she helped arrange for important materials which might have been confiscated by the authorishyties to leave South Africa

So far I have written about Gwenshydolen Carter the scholar the consumshymate professional and the internationshyal figure On a more personal level she was a woman of great courage and independence who refused to acshycept barriers of any sort Despite the limitations imposed on her by a severe case of polio when she was four years old she was never spatially nor intelshylectually confined In reminiscing Gwen always said I was more intershyested in what I could do than I was inshyterested in what I couldnt do Her father a pediatrician and her mother encouraged her to do anything that she could do No part of Africa or for that matter of the world was inacshycessible despite her physical disabilishyty In an era of male domination Gwen considered no academic posishytion or office beyond her reach Her curiosity interest in human beings reshyfusal to accept barriers of any sort and her sense of adventure are all legenshydary Gwen loved to travel but she never went simply as a tourist She was purposeful and set out to find out what was going on and to meet eveshyryone In fact this started early At the age of 19 on a visit to her uncle who was mayor of Oxford at the time she was asked to act as mayoress for a day and she was presented to the Prince of Wales She really enjoyed meeting new people she kept the conshytacts alive through her voluminous correspondence and on her return visi ts she almost seemed a member of the family Through her conversations and questioning she gained insights and understanding and she translated these impressions into her writings

As a young woman she traveled to Nazi Germany with her lifelong friend

Louise Holborn In 1948-49 she went on a round-the-world trip visiting Commonwealth countries including South Africa where she remained for three months driving herself in a speshycially adapted car as she criss-crossed the country In the 195Os on the eve of independence for many African countries she again traveled extenshysively on the continent Her detailed accounts of her meetings and impresshysions will some day prove to be an inshyvaluable source of information for reshysearchers on this crucial period in African history

Gwen was a great teacher She shared her knowledge fully with her students and she generously opened her home to them for meals seminars and receptions But she also had high academic standards and if these were not met she had no hesitation in letting students know where they stood She helped countless students from Africa adjust to the demands of life in the United States and in many instances was responsible for their coming to America A number of her students are now at universities or in government positions in Africa

It has been a great privilege for me to know Gwen Carter and to work with her on several projects Gwens sense of freshness and excitement nurtured and sustained ideas Occashysionally we had different opinions but we always discussed them fully and resolved them through ongoing and lively debate She was a woman of deep convictions and real courage I can still hear her voice on her return from South Africa at the age of 80 afshyter she had been held in detention and interrogated by South African police I simply refused to talk with them I just kept demanding to see the American ambassador

I honor Gwen Carter as a teacher a researcher a personal friend and a pishyoneer She was a woman of fearless integrity and intrepid mind

The ASA Scholarly Research and South Africa by Martin Klein

The question of the relationship of American researchers right of other nations to impose conditions on foreign to South Africa was raised at last springs board meeting research though I sometimes question the wisdom of and a committee of which I was a hesitant member doing so and I certainly question the wisdom of us produced a resolution recommending that scholars imposing restrictions on ourselves I am opposed to any working in South Africa make contact with the Union of ideological vetting of scholarship I do not believe that we Democratic University Staff Associations We decided to should demand that other scholars take an ideological bring the question before the Business Meeting in litmus test I believe our obligation is to seek our truths Baltimore where a number of amendments were passed wherever we find them To do this we must avoid Since there was no quorum it left us with the problem of ideological blinders and in fact we should seek to criticize what to do with the resolution Convinced that I was in a our own assumptions I have also been convinced that it is minority in my reservations I decided to appoint a new wrong for the ASA to establish a special link to UDUSA committee of people involved with South Africa I found which is a member of the Mass Democratic Movement three people willing to serve but as I looked for a fourth I though my own sympathies are strongly with the MOM I increasingly found that others shared my reservations believe it is incumbent on scholars to make contacts with including many who like myself considered themselves the broadest possible range of groups As an organization strong supporters of the liberation struggle I have we may favor some kinds of exchanges over others but it therefore decided to leave the matter until the spring board is wrong for us to oppose any exchange of ideas or any meeting Members of this board or other members of the contact between scholars There is one other consideration association are free to re-write the resolution we discussed South Africa is going through a rapid process of change in Baltimore or to prepare another one This is not the time for us to link ourselves to any single

faction or to limit the free exercize of our critical faculties I The basis of my opposition is an opposition to any kind will thus probably oppose any resolution brought forward

of ideological controls over research I do not question the

PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE IN SUDAN The following information was provided by Africa Watch and Amnesty International

The Sudan Government is continuing to hold several hundred political prisoners in conditions that are seriously prejudicial to their physical and psychological health and in some cases put them in danger of serious disablity or premature death These are flagrant violations of the basic rights of detainees In addition torture is practiced on a systematic basis particularly in non-official detention centres

Since the current military government seized power in Sudan in June 1989 a total of several thousand people have been detained without charge and without trial at least once While most have subsequently been released there are presently estimated to be a minimum of 400 political prisoners in Sudan About half of this number are held in ghost-houses the unofficial detention centers of the security services and the remainder in the official prisons chiefly Kober Prison (Khartoum) Shalla Prison (Darfur Region) Port Sudan New Haifa and Kassala Prisons (eastern Region) Dabak prison (near Khartoum) and Military Headquarters More than fifty political detainees are known to be suffering from medical conditions which require treatment

Commonly those suspected of anti-government activities or views are detained by members of the security forces (organizations newly set up since the coup detat of June 1989) and taken at once to ghost houses In these centers detainees are subjected to a wide range of forms of abuse Africa Watch knows of over 70 detainees who have been subjected to torture Some of these methods leave serious physical and psychological scars and one detainee Dr Ali Fadul died under torture in April After a period ranging between a few days to several weeks the detainees are transferred to normal prisons including Kober Prison Shalla and Port Sudan In these prisons the detainees are not subjected to torture and are allowed to socialize with other prisoners However medical attention is frequently deliberately denied even to seriously ill detainees giving rise to grave concern in many cases In Shalla prison

located in a remote desert lack of food clean water and sanitation is also a matter of concern

Among the prisoners of conscience in Sudan are numerous academics detained without charge or trial since a new military government seized power Some have been released uncharged but up to a dozen are still held at various prisons in Sudan They are detained because of their peaceful opposition to the new military government and in some cases because of their past activities

Recommendations for action include writing urgent appeals to the Sudanese authorities listed below

FROM THE SECRETARIAT

Preparation of the spring issue of ASA News coincides with the arrival of literally hundreds of proposals for pashypers and panels for the Annual Meeting - what we have come to call the March Deluge Each year we try to refine our system for tracking panels and their members and for keeping up with the membership status of ASA Annual Meeting participants

This year each person who submits a proposal is being sent an acknowledgment from this office The acknowledgshyment to individual paper proposers indicates ASA memshybership status (membership is required unless waived for program participants) We hope these letters will serve as a timely reminder to members who may have mislaid their December renewal notice

Panel chairs are being sent notice of the membership status of their panel members We regret being unable to contact individual panel members directly but panel proshyposals typically do not include complete enough addresses for us to reach individual members

Correspondence about the acceptance of proposals will originate from the office of the Program Chair Victor Le Vine of Washington University Individuals who wish to check on the status of their proposals or who wish to othershywise discuss their presentations may contact Dr Le Vine at African and Afro-American Studies Washington Universishyty Campus Box 1109 St Louis MO 63130-4899 (Phone 314-889-5216314-889-5867 and FAX 314-889-5856)

OUR ENDOWMENT IS GROWING We were delighted to receive gifts and pledges from

179 members who added a tax-deductible (in the US) conshytribution to their 1991 dues renewals Their generosity will help us as we seek to make the first goal for receipt of our matching funds from the National Endowment for the Hushymanities $40000 in donations by July 31 1991

Income from the ASA Endowment will be used for three areas of program activity that we are currently unashyble to support from operating revenues 1) outreach proshyjects 2) international contacts among scholars and 3) ASA publications Our short-term interests in using endowment income center on supporting current directions and proshyjects that are not now funded The ASA Outreach Commitshytee for example has proposed a series of worthy projects that include the compilation of a resource guide for Afrishycan studies the creation of a guide for doing African studshyies outreach workshops and the development of modules for integrating African studies into non-Africa courses Our highly successful International Visitors Program has proved its effectiveness in enriching the Annual Meeting but needs more permanent sources of funding The African Studies Association Press is actively developing publicashytion projects in four areas Africa in the Classroom the arts medical studies and reference materials Printing and distribution is expensive and needs more support than is

ASA 5 NEWS

LETTERS Dear Dr Bay

I would like to thank you Dr Lashymouse-Smith and Dr Adell Patton for playing an instrumental role in making the African Studies Associashytions tribute to E Franklin Frazier possible Both the Saturday morning panel session on his life and work and the reception which was held the Friday evening before the session were successful

Since the Baltimore meeting I have become aware that my stateshyment on Professor Frazier liE Frankshylin Frazier ASA First African Amerishycan President and a Son of Baltimore has generated a debate as to whom the recognition of the first elected president of the association belongs The principals on which the debate centers are Frazier and Dr Robert Cummings who was presishydent of the ASA in 1985 The primary concern issues from an erroneous declaration that the African Studies Association elected Frazier as presishydent in 1963 Factually Frazier was elected to the office of vice president in 1962 a position from which under ASAs by-laws the encumbent autoshymatically accedes to the presidency Factually Cummings was elected vice president in 1984 and served as president in 1985 making him the first African American to serve a term as president of the ASA

The statement which appears in the program for the Thirty-Third Anshynual Meeting of ASA was not intendshyed to diminish the accomplishment of my fellow colleague Professor Cumshymings Rather it was an attempt to recognize the pioneering works of one of this countrys foremost scholshyars on the African American experishyence

Charles Jarmon Howard University

Dear Dr Bay

We spotted an announcement in the newsletter a month or so back for your 1991 calendar Men and Women of Power Africa in Historical Photoshygraphs We ordered two copies one for a Christmas gift to ourselves and one for a friend

To our surprise on receipt of the calendars we leafed through them and came to July discovering Eliot Elisofons photo of the father and two brothers of one of oUT colleagues (and immediate past department chair) in the History Department at the Unishyversity of Lubumbashi He was born the year of the photo but immediately recognized which of his many brothshyers the two were One has been a Zairian politician and lives in Kinshashysa the other back in the royal village Our other friend lost his intended Christmas gift as it seemed only right to give it to Professor Belepe

For the sake of historical accuracy we would point out an error unshyderstandable for a visiting photograshypher which Professor Belepe noshyticed so it can be corrected for any future use of the photo There has been a confusion among three Kuba kings wi th similar names

Mbop Mabiinc maMbeky1916-1919 Kwete Mabiinc maKyen 1919-1939 Mbop Mabiinc maK yen 1939-1969

As the date of the photo indicates it is the third of these who is pictured here and so the third name is incorrect as is the beginning date of his reign

We are delighted with the calenshydars and sincerely hope that the ASA will repeat the fund-raiser again in 1992

The following letter to James Baker Secretary of State was shared with us by PeArl T Robinson President TransAfrishyca Boston Chapter

Dear Secretary Baker We in the Boston Chapter of Transshy

Africa are concerned that the US Govshyernment make the most positive conshytribution it can to the restoration of peace and security in Liberia and a transition to honest competitive and open elections for a constitutionally legitimate government of that beleashyguered country In keeping with this concern we emphasize the following beliefs

1) The peace and transition plan being implemented by the ECOW AS states offers the best hope that the tragically abused people of Liberia have to achieve a reasonably prompt restoration of law and order and a peaceful workable transition to deshymocracy The ECOWAS state should receive the commendation of the US government and whatever financial and diplomatic support we can give to ECOW AS to help it to carry the inishytiative to a successful conclusion

2) As a central part of the ECOWshyAS transition plan and reflecting the choice of the broadest meeting yet held of the substantial political groups of Liberians the Interim Govshyernment headed by Dr Amos Sawshyyer a person of proven integrity and competence has now taken up resishydence within the country We believe that the IG should receive the recogshynition and support of the US Governshyment The White House or State Deshypartment should immediately make that intention clearly evident

3) Distribution of food and other relief supplies should not be made subject to political criteria Donor agencies and organizations should provide such material and foodstuffs as they can to any other ports and regions of the country able to receive them However inspection by the

Interim Government or the ECOMOG forces of relief shipments coming into the country is a reasonable requirement in our view

4) Now that the Interim Government is in residence within the country the US after extending recognition should resume its economic and emergency assistance to that country working through the Interim Government Further working through the Interim Government the US should unblock all non-lethal assistance provided for Liberia under any of the pending or previous authorizations of assistance and in fact should expand its assistance program to help meet the acute needs for food and health relief resettlement of refugees and displaced persons and restoration of

basic services 5) The US should assist in the

immediate evacuation of refugees from Monrovia and elsewhere There is especially a need to provide security and safe passage for the thousands of persons at the Presidential Palace many of whom come from the former Presidents region or were associated with his regime and now fear for their lives Safe passage and refugee camp arrangements would be needed until these people can safely return to their homes

Liberia is too dose and important a friend of the US and has suffered too much already in which suffering we are complici t to merit being ignored or manipulated by our government in a period of such acute need and such

In Memoriam Gwendolen Carter Gwendolen M Carter died in

Orange City Florida on 20 February 1991 Her life spanned the extraordishynary events and transformations of the twentieth century and she was an active observer and participant in many of them She reached out to people and they in turn saw in her someone who would champion their causes and respond to their needs Human beings rather than detached institutions or political structures were at the center of her political analyses Her particular concern with Africa and her in-depth involvement with South Africa drew her into drashymatic circumstances She discussed politics with Kwame Nkrumah and saluted Nelson Mandela as he was led out of the courtroom to life imshyprisonment

Gwen Carter was born in Hamilshyton Ontario and received the BA from the University of Toronto in 1929 She then went to Oxford Unishyversity where she also received the BA in 1931 She was a member of the faculty of McMaster University at Hamilton Ontario from 1932 to 1935

before returning to Oxford to comshyplete the MA degree in 1936 In 1938 she was awarded the PhD from Radshycliffe College of Harvard University She taught at Wellesley College from 1938 to 1941 and at Tufts College in 1942-43 before joining the faculty at Smith College where she remained from 1943 to 1964 and where she was named to the Sophia Smith Chair of Political Science in 1961

In 1964 she was invited to become the director of the African Studies Proshygram at Northwestern University and was appointed the Melville J Hersshykovits Professor of African Affairs In 1974 she agreed to join the faculty of the African Studies Program and the Political Science Department of Indiashyna University and for the next ten years she enlivened the intellectual life of her colleagues and students In 1984 she accepted an offer from the University of Florida where she taught until 1987 Her international stature was recognized by the confershyral of honorary degrees from 13 unishyversities in the United States and Canshyada the George V Medal for Public

promise for renewal To continue to hesitate in

supporting the Interim Government headed by Dr Sawyer and to continue to encourage fighting forces to believe that some better arrangement than the Interim Government offers might corne to them through US influence as we believe that some US officials have done only prolongs the suffering of the Liberian people and impedes real progress toward full democratic and constitutional government in that country

We hope that you will give your most conscientious attention to the points we raise and take appropriate action

Pearl T Robinson TransAfrica Boston Chapter

Service in 1935 the Achievement Award of the American Association of University Women in 1962 and the Distinguished Scholar Award of the ASA in 1978 She was president of the African Studies Association in 1958shy59 president of the New England Poshylitical Science Association in 1959-60 and vice president of the American Political Science Association in 1963shy64 In the 19405 she became an Amerishycan citizen and was frequently called upon as a consultant by government agencies and private organizations She was a member of the board of the African-American Institute for more than 20 years

Gwen Carter continued to publish and to be professionally engaged into her 80s Her publications which spanned a period of more than 40 years are her enduring and impresshysive legacy to all of us as well as to fushyture generations of scholars Her work ranged from her first book in 1947 on the British Commonwealth to numerous other books articles and essays The Governments of Great Britshyain France and the Soviet Union

which she coauthored with John H Rainey in 1949 was followed by five editions with John Herz For many years this was the preeminent text in comparative politics in departments of political science throughout the United States In the Preface to the first edition Carter and Rainey summed up their perspective Their approach aimed to depict governshyments as a living complex of activities and arrangements which change and develop in response to the character needs desires and purposes of hushyman beings Gwens concern with political power and its effects on peoshyples lives led her to an extensive stay in South Africa in the 1950s and reshysulted in her pioneering study The Politics of Inequality South Africa Since 1948 Some of her comments in the Inshytroduction to the book epitomize Gwens academic beliefs and commitshyment [TJhroughout most of my two substantial periods of investigation in [South Africa] I was far more conshycerned with understanding the points of view and character of action of the different groups in the community than judging them No one who goes to South Africa for a serious study of the situation can ultimately avoid judgements But to the best of my abilshyity I have tried to separate facts and analysis from such judgements and to let the former speak for themshyselves On trips to South Africa Gwen met and interacted with politishycal and intellectual leaders at every level She made lifelong friends throughout the country and became a symbol of a caring outside world This was the crucial period of the imshyplementation of apartheid and Gwens insights provided scholars and policymakers with an undershystanding of what was happening in South Africa

Her monumental work From Protest to Challenge A Documentary History of African Politics in South Afrishyca 1882-1964 which was edited with Thomas Karis Sheridan Johns and Gail Gerhart is a collection of annoshytated documents and essays chronishy

cling African nationalism in South Afshyrica and the struggle for political s0shy

cial and economic rights Without Gwens efforts to collect preserve and protect these documents many of them would certainly have been lost In particular she helped arrange for important materials which might have been confiscated by the authorishyties to leave South Africa

So far I have written about Gwenshydolen Carter the scholar the consumshymate professional and the internationshyal figure On a more personal level she was a woman of great courage and independence who refused to acshycept barriers of any sort Despite the limitations imposed on her by a severe case of polio when she was four years old she was never spatially nor intelshylectually confined In reminiscing Gwen always said I was more intershyested in what I could do than I was inshyterested in what I couldnt do Her father a pediatrician and her mother encouraged her to do anything that she could do No part of Africa or for that matter of the world was inacshycessible despite her physical disabilishyty In an era of male domination Gwen considered no academic posishytion or office beyond her reach Her curiosity interest in human beings reshyfusal to accept barriers of any sort and her sense of adventure are all legenshydary Gwen loved to travel but she never went simply as a tourist She was purposeful and set out to find out what was going on and to meet eveshyryone In fact this started early At the age of 19 on a visit to her uncle who was mayor of Oxford at the time she was asked to act as mayoress for a day and she was presented to the Prince of Wales She really enjoyed meeting new people she kept the conshytacts alive through her voluminous correspondence and on her return visi ts she almost seemed a member of the family Through her conversations and questioning she gained insights and understanding and she translated these impressions into her writings

As a young woman she traveled to Nazi Germany with her lifelong friend

Louise Holborn In 1948-49 she went on a round-the-world trip visiting Commonwealth countries including South Africa where she remained for three months driving herself in a speshycially adapted car as she criss-crossed the country In the 195Os on the eve of independence for many African countries she again traveled extenshysively on the continent Her detailed accounts of her meetings and impresshysions will some day prove to be an inshyvaluable source of information for reshysearchers on this crucial period in African history

Gwen was a great teacher She shared her knowledge fully with her students and she generously opened her home to them for meals seminars and receptions But she also had high academic standards and if these were not met she had no hesitation in letting students know where they stood She helped countless students from Africa adjust to the demands of life in the United States and in many instances was responsible for their coming to America A number of her students are now at universities or in government positions in Africa

It has been a great privilege for me to know Gwen Carter and to work with her on several projects Gwens sense of freshness and excitement nurtured and sustained ideas Occashysionally we had different opinions but we always discussed them fully and resolved them through ongoing and lively debate She was a woman of deep convictions and real courage I can still hear her voice on her return from South Africa at the age of 80 afshyter she had been held in detention and interrogated by South African police I simply refused to talk with them I just kept demanding to see the American ambassador

I honor Gwen Carter as a teacher a researcher a personal friend and a pishyoneer She was a woman of fearless integrity and intrepid mind

The ASA Scholarly Research and South Africa by Martin Klein

The question of the relationship of American researchers right of other nations to impose conditions on foreign to South Africa was raised at last springs board meeting research though I sometimes question the wisdom of and a committee of which I was a hesitant member doing so and I certainly question the wisdom of us produced a resolution recommending that scholars imposing restrictions on ourselves I am opposed to any working in South Africa make contact with the Union of ideological vetting of scholarship I do not believe that we Democratic University Staff Associations We decided to should demand that other scholars take an ideological bring the question before the Business Meeting in litmus test I believe our obligation is to seek our truths Baltimore where a number of amendments were passed wherever we find them To do this we must avoid Since there was no quorum it left us with the problem of ideological blinders and in fact we should seek to criticize what to do with the resolution Convinced that I was in a our own assumptions I have also been convinced that it is minority in my reservations I decided to appoint a new wrong for the ASA to establish a special link to UDUSA committee of people involved with South Africa I found which is a member of the Mass Democratic Movement three people willing to serve but as I looked for a fourth I though my own sympathies are strongly with the MOM I increasingly found that others shared my reservations believe it is incumbent on scholars to make contacts with including many who like myself considered themselves the broadest possible range of groups As an organization strong supporters of the liberation struggle I have we may favor some kinds of exchanges over others but it therefore decided to leave the matter until the spring board is wrong for us to oppose any exchange of ideas or any meeting Members of this board or other members of the contact between scholars There is one other consideration association are free to re-write the resolution we discussed South Africa is going through a rapid process of change in Baltimore or to prepare another one This is not the time for us to link ourselves to any single

faction or to limit the free exercize of our critical faculties I The basis of my opposition is an opposition to any kind will thus probably oppose any resolution brought forward

PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE IN SUDAN The following information was provided by Africa Watch and Amnesty International

The Sudan Government is continuing to hold several hundred political prisoners in conditions that are seriously prejudicial to their physical and psychological health and in some cases put them in danger of serious disablity or premature death These are flagrant violations of the basic rights of detainees In addition torture is practiced on a systematic basis particularly in non-official detention centres

Since the current military government seized power in Sudan in June 1989 a total of several thousand people have been detained without charge and without trial at least once While most have subsequently been released there are presently estimated to be a minimum of 400 political prisoners in Sudan About half of this number are held in ghost-houses the unofficial detention centers of the security services and the remainder in the official prisons chiefly Kober Prison (Khartoum) Shalla Prison (Darfur Region) Port Sudan New Haifa and Kassala Prisons (eastern Region) Dabak prison (near Khartoum) and Military Headquarters More than fifty political detainees are known to be suffering from medical conditions which require treatment

Commonly those suspected of anti-government activities or views are detained by members of the security forces (organizations newly set up since the coup detat of June 1989) and taken at once to ghost houses In these centers detainees are subjected to a wide range of forms of abuse Africa Watch knows of over 70 detainees who have been subjected to torture Some of these methods leave serious physical and psychological scars and one detainee Dr Ali Fadul died under torture in April After a period ranging between a few days to several weeks the detainees are transferred to normal prisons including Kober Prison Shalla and Port Sudan In these prisons the detainees are not subjected to torture and are allowed to socialize with other prisoners However medical attention is frequently deliberately denied even to seriously ill detainees giving rise to grave concern in many cases In Shalla prison

located in a remote desert lack of food clean water and sanitation is also a matter of concern

Among the prisoners of conscience in Sudan are numerous academics detained without charge or trial since a new military government seized power Some have been released uncharged but up to a dozen are still held at various prisons in Sudan They are detained because of their peaceful opposition to the new military government and in some cases because of their past activities

Recommendations for action include writing urgent appeals to the Sudanese authorities listed below

ASA 5 NEWS

LETTERS Dear Dr Bay

I would like to thank you Dr Lashymouse-Smith and Dr Adell Patton for playing an instrumental role in making the African Studies Associashytions tribute to E Franklin Frazier possible Both the Saturday morning panel session on his life and work and the reception which was held the Friday evening before the session were successful

Since the Baltimore meeting I have become aware that my stateshyment on Professor Frazier liE Frankshylin Frazier ASA First African Amerishycan President and a Son of Baltimore has generated a debate as to whom the recognition of the first elected president of the association belongs The principals on which the debate centers are Frazier and Dr Robert Cummings who was presishydent of the ASA in 1985 The primary concern issues from an erroneous declaration that the African Studies Association elected Frazier as presishydent in 1963 Factually Frazier was elected to the office of vice president in 1962 a position from which under ASAs by-laws the encumbent autoshymatically accedes to the presidency Factually Cummings was elected vice president in 1984 and served as president in 1985 making him the first African American to serve a term as president of the ASA

The statement which appears in the program for the Thirty-Third Anshynual Meeting of ASA was not intendshyed to diminish the accomplishment of my fellow colleague Professor Cumshymings Rather it was an attempt to recognize the pioneering works of one of this countrys foremost scholshyars on the African American experishyence

Dear Dr Bay

We spotted an announcement in the newsletter a month or so back for your 1991 calendar Men and Women of Power Africa in Historical Photoshygraphs We ordered two copies one for a Christmas gift to ourselves and one for a friend

To our surprise on receipt of the calendars we leafed through them and came to July discovering Eliot Elisofons photo of the father and two brothers of one of oUT colleagues (and immediate past department chair) in the History Department at the Unishyversity of Lubumbashi He was born the year of the photo but immediately recognized which of his many brothshyers the two were One has been a Zairian politician and lives in Kinshashysa the other back in the royal village Our other friend lost his intended Christmas gift as it seemed only right to give it to Professor Belepe

For the sake of historical accuracy we would point out an error unshyderstandable for a visiting photograshypher which Professor Belepe noshyticed so it can be corrected for any future use of the photo There has been a confusion among three Kuba kings wi th similar names

Mbop Mabiinc maMbeky1916-1919 Kwete Mabiinc maKyen 1919-1939 Mbop Mabiinc maK yen 1939-1969

As the date of the photo indicates it is the third of these who is pictured here and so the third name is incorrect as is the beginning date of his reign

We are delighted with the calenshydars and sincerely hope that the ASA will repeat the fund-raiser again in 1992

The following letter to James Baker Secretary of State was shared with us by PeArl T Robinson President TransAfrishyca Boston Chapter

Dear Secretary Baker We in the Boston Chapter of Transshy

Africa are concerned that the US Govshyernment make the most positive conshytribution it can to the restoration of peace and security in Liberia and a transition to honest competitive and open elections for a constitutionally legitimate government of that beleashyguered country In keeping with this concern we emphasize the following beliefs

1) The peace and transition plan being implemented by the ECOW AS states offers the best hope that the tragically abused people of Liberia have to achieve a reasonably prompt restoration of law and order and a peaceful workable transition to deshymocracy The ECOWAS state should receive the commendation of the US government and whatever financial and diplomatic support we can give to ECOW AS to help it to carry the inishytiative to a successful conclusion

2) As a central part of the ECOWshyAS transition plan and reflecting the choice of the broadest meeting yet held of the substantial political groups of Liberians the Interim Govshyernment headed by Dr Amos Sawshyyer a person of proven integrity and competence has now taken up resishydence within the country We believe that the IG should receive the recogshynition and support of the US Governshyment The White House or State Deshypartment should immediately make that intention clearly evident

3) Distribution of food and other relief supplies should not be made subject to political criteria Donor agencies and organizations should provide such material and foodstuffs as they can to any other ports and regions of the country able to receive them However inspection by the

Interim Government or the ECOMOG forces of relief shipments coming into the country is a reasonable requirement in our view

4) Now that the Interim Government is in residence within the country the US after extending recognition should resume its economic and emergency assistance to that country working through the Interim Government Further working through the Interim Government the US should unblock all non-lethal assistance provided for Liberia under any of the pending or previous authorizations of assistance and in fact should expand its assistance program to help meet the acute needs for food and health relief resettlement of refugees and displaced persons and restoration of

basic services 5) The US should assist in the

immediate evacuation of refugees from Monrovia and elsewhere There is especially a need to provide security and safe passage for the thousands of persons at the Presidential Palace many of whom come from the former Presidents region or were associated with his regime and now fear for their lives Safe passage and refugee camp arrangements would be needed until these people can safely return to their homes

Liberia is too dose and important a friend of the US and has suffered too much already in which suffering we are complici t to merit being ignored or manipulated by our government in a period of such acute need and such

In Memoriam Gwendolen Carter Gwendolen M Carter died in

Orange City Florida on 20 February 1991 Her life spanned the extraordishynary events and transformations of the twentieth century and she was an active observer and participant in many of them She reached out to people and they in turn saw in her someone who would champion their causes and respond to their needs Human beings rather than detached institutions or political structures were at the center of her political analyses Her particular concern with Africa and her in-depth involvement with South Africa drew her into drashymatic circumstances She discussed politics with Kwame Nkrumah and saluted Nelson Mandela as he was led out of the courtroom to life imshyprisonment

Gwen Carter was born in Hamilshyton Ontario and received the BA from the University of Toronto in 1929 She then went to Oxford Unishyversity where she also received the BA in 1931 She was a member of the faculty of McMaster University at Hamilton Ontario from 1932 to 1935

before returning to Oxford to comshyplete the MA degree in 1936 In 1938 she was awarded the PhD from Radshycliffe College of Harvard University She taught at Wellesley College from 1938 to 1941 and at Tufts College in 1942-43 before joining the faculty at Smith College where she remained from 1943 to 1964 and where she was named to the Sophia Smith Chair of Political Science in 1961

In 1964 she was invited to become the director of the African Studies Proshygram at Northwestern University and was appointed the Melville J Hersshykovits Professor of African Affairs In 1974 she agreed to join the faculty of the African Studies Program and the Political Science Department of Indiashyna University and for the next ten years she enlivened the intellectual life of her colleagues and students In 1984 she accepted an offer from the University of Florida where she taught until 1987 Her international stature was recognized by the confershyral of honorary degrees from 13 unishyversities in the United States and Canshyada the George V Medal for Public

promise for renewal To continue to hesitate in

supporting the Interim Government headed by Dr Sawyer and to continue to encourage fighting forces to believe that some better arrangement than the Interim Government offers might corne to them through US influence as we believe that some US officials have done only prolongs the suffering of the Liberian people and impedes real progress toward full democratic and constitutional government in that country

We hope that you will give your most conscientious attention to the points we raise and take appropriate action

Pearl T Robinson TransAfrica Boston Chapter

Service in 1935 the Achievement Award of the American Association of University Women in 1962 and the Distinguished Scholar Award of the ASA in 1978 She was president of the African Studies Association in 1958shy59 president of the New England Poshylitical Science Association in 1959-60 and vice president of the American Political Science Association in 1963shy64 In the 19405 she became an Amerishycan citizen and was frequently called upon as a consultant by government agencies and private organizations She was a member of the board of the African-American Institute for more than 20 years

Gwen Carter continued to publish and to be professionally engaged into her 80s Her publications which spanned a period of more than 40 years are her enduring and impresshysive legacy to all of us as well as to fushyture generations of scholars Her work ranged from her first book in 1947 on the British Commonwealth to numerous other books articles and essays The Governments of Great Britshyain France and the Soviet Union

which she coauthored with John H Rainey in 1949 was followed by five editions with John Herz For many years this was the preeminent text in comparative politics in departments of political science throughout the United States In the Preface to the first edition Carter and Rainey summed up their perspective Their approach aimed to depict governshyments as a living complex of activities and arrangements which change and develop in response to the character needs desires and purposes of hushyman beings Gwens concern with political power and its effects on peoshyples lives led her to an extensive stay in South Africa in the 1950s and reshysulted in her pioneering study The Politics of Inequality South Africa Since 1948 Some of her comments in the Inshytroduction to the book epitomize Gwens academic beliefs and commitshyment [TJhroughout most of my two substantial periods of investigation in [South Africa] I was far more conshycerned with understanding the points of view and character of action of the different groups in the community than judging them No one who goes to South Africa for a serious study of the situation can ultimately avoid judgements But to the best of my abilshyity I have tried to separate facts and analysis from such judgements and to let the former speak for themshyselves On trips to South Africa Gwen met and interacted with politishycal and intellectual leaders at every level She made lifelong friends throughout the country and became a symbol of a caring outside world This was the crucial period of the imshyplementation of apartheid and Gwens insights provided scholars and policymakers with an undershystanding of what was happening in South Africa

Her monumental work From Protest to Challenge A Documentary History of African Politics in South Afrishyca 1882-1964 which was edited with Thomas Karis Sheridan Johns and Gail Gerhart is a collection of annoshytated documents and essays chronishy

cling African nationalism in South Afshyrica and the struggle for political s0shy

cial and economic rights Without Gwens efforts to collect preserve and protect these documents many of them would certainly have been lost In particular she helped arrange for important materials which might have been confiscated by the authorishyties to leave South Africa

So far I have written about Gwenshydolen Carter the scholar the consumshymate professional and the internationshyal figure On a more personal level she was a woman of great courage and independence who refused to acshycept barriers of any sort Despite the limitations imposed on her by a severe case of polio when she was four years old she was never spatially nor intelshylectually confined In reminiscing Gwen always said I was more intershyested in what I could do than I was inshyterested in what I couldnt do Her father a pediatrician and her mother encouraged her to do anything that she could do No part of Africa or for that matter of the world was inacshycessible despite her physical disabilishyty In an era of male domination Gwen considered no academic posishytion or office beyond her reach Her curiosity interest in human beings reshyfusal to accept barriers of any sort and her sense of adventure are all legenshydary Gwen loved to travel but she never went simply as a tourist She was purposeful and set out to find out what was going on and to meet eveshyryone In fact this started early At the age of 19 on a visit to her uncle who was mayor of Oxford at the time she was asked to act as mayoress for a day and she was presented to the Prince of Wales She really enjoyed meeting new people she kept the conshytacts alive through her voluminous correspondence and on her return visi ts she almost seemed a member of the family Through her conversations and questioning she gained insights and understanding and she translated these impressions into her writings

As a young woman she traveled to Nazi Germany with her lifelong friend

Louise Holborn In 1948-49 she went on a round-the-world trip visiting Commonwealth countries including South Africa where she remained for three months driving herself in a speshycially adapted car as she criss-crossed the country In the 195Os on the eve of independence for many African countries she again traveled extenshysively on the continent Her detailed accounts of her meetings and impresshysions will some day prove to be an inshyvaluable source of information for reshysearchers on this crucial period in African history

Gwen was a great teacher She shared her knowledge fully with her students and she generously opened her home to them for meals seminars and receptions But she also had high academic standards and if these were not met she had no hesitation in letting students know where they stood She helped countless students from Africa adjust to the demands of life in the United States and in many instances was responsible for their coming to America A number of her students are now at universities or in government positions in Africa

It has been a great privilege for me to know Gwen Carter and to work with her on several projects Gwens sense of freshness and excitement nurtured and sustained ideas Occashysionally we had different opinions but we always discussed them fully and resolved them through ongoing and lively debate She was a woman of deep convictions and real courage I can still hear her voice on her return from South Africa at the age of 80 afshyter she had been held in detention and interrogated by South African police I simply refused to talk with them I just kept demanding to see the American ambassador

I honor Gwen Carter as a teacher a researcher a personal friend and a pishyoneer She was a woman of fearless integrity and intrepid mind

The question of the relationship of American researchers right of other nations to impose conditions on foreign to South Africa was raised at last springs board meeting research though I sometimes question the wisdom of and a committee of which I was a hesitant member doing so and I certainly question the wisdom of us produced a resolution recommending that scholars imposing restrictions on ourselves I am opposed to any working in South Africa make contact with the Union of ideological vetting of scholarship I do not believe that we Democratic University Staff Associations We decided to should demand that other scholars take an ideological bring the question before the Business Meeting in litmus test I believe our obligation is to seek our truths Baltimore where a number of amendments were passed wherever we find them To do this we must avoid Since there was no quorum it left us with the problem of ideological blinders and in fact we should seek to criticize what to do with the resolution Convinced that I was in a our own assumptions I have also been convinced that it is minority in my reservations I decided to appoint a new wrong for the ASA to establish a special link to UDUSA committee of people involved with South Africa I found which is a member of the Mass Democratic Movement three people willing to serve but as I looked for a fourth I though my own sympathies are strongly with the MOM I increasingly found that others shared my reservations believe it is incumbent on scholars to make contacts with including many who like myself considered themselves the broadest possible range of groups As an organization strong supporters of the liberation struggle I have we may favor some kinds of exchanges over others but it therefore decided to leave the matter until the spring board is wrong for us to oppose any exchange of ideas or any meeting Members of this board or other members of the contact between scholars There is one other consideration association are free to re-write the resolution we discussed South Africa is going through a rapid process of change in Baltimore or to prepare another one This is not the time for us to link ourselves to any single

faction or to limit the free exercize of our critical faculties I The basis of my opposition is an opposition to any kind will thus probably oppose any resolution brought forward

of ideological controls over research I do not question the

PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE IN SUDAN The following information was provided by Africa Watch and Amnesty International

The Sudan Government is continuing to hold several hundred political prisoners in conditions that are seriously prejudicial to their physical and psychological health and in some cases put them in danger of serious disablity or premature death These are flagrant violations of the basic rights of detainees In addition torture is practiced on a systematic basis particularly in non-official detention centres

Since the current military government seized power in Sudan in June 1989 a total of several thousand people have been detained without charge and without trial at least once While most have subsequently been released there are presently estimated to be a minimum of 400 political prisoners in Sudan About half of this number are held in ghost-houses the unofficial detention centers of the security services and the remainder in the official prisons chiefly Kober Prison (Khartoum) Shalla Prison (Darfur Region) Port Sudan New Haifa and Kassala Prisons (eastern Region) Dabak prison (near Khartoum) and Military Headquarters More than fifty political detainees are known to be suffering from medical conditions which require treatment

Commonly those suspected of anti-government activities or views are detained by members of the security forces (organizations newly set up since the coup detat of June 1989) and taken at once to ghost houses In these centers detainees are subjected to a wide range of forms of abuse Africa Watch knows of over 70 detainees who have been subjected to torture Some of these methods leave serious physical and psychological scars and one detainee Dr Ali Fadul died under torture in April After a period ranging between a few days to several weeks the detainees are transferred to normal prisons including Kober Prison Shalla and Port Sudan In these prisons the detainees are not subjected to torture and are allowed to socialize with other prisoners However medical attention is frequently deliberately denied even to seriously ill detainees giving rise to grave concern in many cases In Shalla prison

located in a remote desert lack of food clean water and sanitation is also a matter of concern

Among the prisoners of conscience in Sudan are numerous academics detained without charge or trial since a new military government seized power Some have been released uncharged but up to a dozen are still held at various prisons in Sudan They are detained because of their peaceful opposition to the new military government and in some cases because of their past activities

Recommendations for action include writing urgent appeals to the Sudanese authorities listed below

ASA 5 NEWS

LETTERS Dear Dr Bay

I would like to thank you Dr Lashymouse-Smith and Dr Adell Patton for playing an instrumental role in making the African Studies Associashytions tribute to E Franklin Frazier possible Both the Saturday morning panel session on his life and work and the reception which was held the Friday evening before the session were successful

Since the Baltimore meeting I have become aware that my stateshyment on Professor Frazier liE Frankshylin Frazier ASA First African Amerishycan President and a Son of Baltimore has generated a debate as to whom the recognition of the first elected president of the association belongs The principals on which the debate centers are Frazier and Dr Robert Cummings who was presishydent of the ASA in 1985 The primary concern issues from an erroneous declaration that the African Studies Association elected Frazier as presishydent in 1963 Factually Frazier was elected to the office of vice president in 1962 a position from which under ASAs by-laws the encumbent autoshymatically accedes to the presidency Factually Cummings was elected vice president in 1984 and served as president in 1985 making him the first African American to serve a term as president of the ASA

The statement which appears in the program for the Thirty-Third Anshynual Meeting of ASA was not intendshyed to diminish the accomplishment of my fellow colleague Professor Cumshymings Rather it was an attempt to recognize the pioneering works of one of this countrys foremost scholshyars on the African American experishyence

Charles Jarmon Howard University

Dear Dr Bay

We spotted an announcement in the newsletter a month or so back for your 1991 calendar Men and Women of Power Africa in Historical Photoshygraphs We ordered two copies one for a Christmas gift to ourselves and one for a friend

To our surprise on receipt of the calendars we leafed through them and came to July discovering Eliot Elisofons photo of the father and two brothers of one of oUT colleagues (and immediate past department chair) in the History Department at the Unishyversity of Lubumbashi He was born the year of the photo but immediately recognized which of his many brothshyers the two were One has been a Zairian politician and lives in Kinshashysa the other back in the royal village Our other friend lost his intended Christmas gift as it seemed only right to give it to Professor Belepe

For the sake of historical accuracy we would point out an error unshyderstandable for a visiting photograshypher which Professor Belepe noshyticed so it can be corrected for any future use of the photo There has been a confusion among three Kuba kings wi th similar names

Mbop Mabiinc maMbeky1916-1919 Kwete Mabiinc maKyen 1919-1939 Mbop Mabiinc maK yen 1939-1969

As the date of the photo indicates it is the third of these who is pictured here and so the third name is incorrect as is the beginning date of his reign

We are delighted with the calenshydars and sincerely hope that the ASA will repeat the fund-raiser again in 1992

The following letter to James Baker Secretary of State was shared with us by PeArl T Robinson President TransAfrishyca Boston Chapter

Dear Secretary Baker We in the Boston Chapter of Transshy

Africa are concerned that the US Govshyernment make the most positive conshytribution it can to the restoration of peace and security in Liberia and a transition to honest competitive and open elections for a constitutionally legitimate government of that beleashyguered country In keeping with this concern we emphasize the following beliefs

1) The peace and transition plan being implemented by the ECOW AS states offers the best hope that the tragically abused people of Liberia have to achieve a reasonably prompt restoration of law and order and a peaceful workable transition to deshymocracy The ECOWAS state should receive the commendation of the US government and whatever financial and diplomatic support we can give to ECOW AS to help it to carry the inishytiative to a successful conclusion

2) As a central part of the ECOWshyAS transition plan and reflecting the choice of the broadest meeting yet held of the substantial political groups of Liberians the Interim Govshyernment headed by Dr Amos Sawshyyer a person of proven integrity and competence has now taken up resishydence within the country We believe that the IG should receive the recogshynition and support of the US Governshyment The White House or State Deshypartment should immediately make that intention clearly evident

3) Distribution of food and other relief supplies should not be made subject to political criteria Donor agencies and organizations should provide such material and foodstuffs as they can to any other ports and regions of the country able to receive them However inspection by the

Interim Government or the ECOMOG forces of relief shipments coming into the country is a reasonable requirement in our view

4) Now that the Interim Government is in residence within the country the US after extending recognition should resume its economic and emergency assistance to that country working through the Interim Government Further working through the Interim Government the US should unblock all non-lethal assistance provided for Liberia under any of the pending or previous authorizations of assistance and in fact should expand its assistance program to help meet the acute needs for food and health relief resettlement of refugees and displaced persons and restoration of

basic services 5) The US should assist in the

immediate evacuation of refugees from Monrovia and elsewhere There is especially a need to provide security and safe passage for the thousands of persons at the Presidential Palace many of whom come from the former Presidents region or were associated with his regime and now fear for their lives Safe passage and refugee camp arrangements would be needed until these people can safely return to their homes

Liberia is too dose and important a friend of the US and has suffered too much already in which suffering we are complici t to merit being ignored or manipulated by our government in a period of such acute need and such

In Memoriam Gwendolen Carter Gwendolen M Carter died in

Orange City Florida on 20 February 1991 Her life spanned the extraordishynary events and transformations of the twentieth century and she was an active observer and participant in many of them She reached out to people and they in turn saw in her someone who would champion their causes and respond to their needs Human beings rather than detached institutions or political structures were at the center of her political analyses Her particular concern with Africa and her in-depth involvement with South Africa drew her into drashymatic circumstances She discussed politics with Kwame Nkrumah and saluted Nelson Mandela as he was led out of the courtroom to life imshyprisonment

Gwen Carter was born in Hamilshyton Ontario and received the BA from the University of Toronto in 1929 She then went to Oxford Unishyversity where she also received the BA in 1931 She was a member of the faculty of McMaster University at Hamilton Ontario from 1932 to 1935

before returning to Oxford to comshyplete the MA degree in 1936 In 1938 she was awarded the PhD from Radshycliffe College of Harvard University She taught at Wellesley College from 1938 to 1941 and at Tufts College in 1942-43 before joining the faculty at Smith College where she remained from 1943 to 1964 and where she was named to the Sophia Smith Chair of Political Science in 1961

In 1964 she was invited to become the director of the African Studies Proshygram at Northwestern University and was appointed the Melville J Hersshykovits Professor of African Affairs In 1974 she agreed to join the faculty of the African Studies Program and the Political Science Department of Indiashyna University and for the next ten years she enlivened the intellectual life of her colleagues and students In 1984 she accepted an offer from the University of Florida where she taught until 1987 Her international stature was recognized by the confershyral of honorary degrees from 13 unishyversities in the United States and Canshyada the George V Medal for Public

promise for renewal To continue to hesitate in

supporting the Interim Government headed by Dr Sawyer and to continue to encourage fighting forces to believe that some better arrangement than the Interim Government offers might corne to them through US influence as we believe that some US officials have done only prolongs the suffering of the Liberian people and impedes real progress toward full democratic and constitutional government in that country

We hope that you will give your most conscientious attention to the points we raise and take appropriate action

Pearl T Robinson TransAfrica Boston Chapter

Service in 1935 the Achievement Award of the American Association of University Women in 1962 and the Distinguished Scholar Award of the ASA in 1978 She was president of the African Studies Association in 1958shy59 president of the New England Poshylitical Science Association in 1959-60 and vice president of the American Political Science Association in 1963shy64 In the 19405 she became an Amerishycan citizen and was frequently called upon as a consultant by government agencies and private organizations She was a member of the board of the African-American Institute for more than 20 years

Gwen Carter continued to publish and to be professionally engaged into her 80s Her publications which spanned a period of more than 40 years are her enduring and impresshysive legacy to all of us as well as to fushyture generations of scholars Her work ranged from her first book in 1947 on the British Commonwealth to numerous other books articles and essays The Governments of Great Britshyain France and the Soviet Union

which she coauthored with John H Rainey in 1949 was followed by five editions with John Herz For many years this was the preeminent text in comparative politics in departments of political science throughout the United States In the Preface to the first edition Carter and Rainey summed up their perspective Their approach aimed to depict governshyments as a living complex of activities and arrangements which change and develop in response to the character needs desires and purposes of hushyman beings Gwens concern with political power and its effects on peoshyples lives led her to an extensive stay in South Africa in the 1950s and reshysulted in her pioneering study The Politics of Inequality South Africa Since 1948 Some of her comments in the Inshytroduction to the book epitomize Gwens academic beliefs and commitshyment [TJhroughout most of my two substantial periods of investigation in [South Africa] I was far more conshycerned with understanding the points of view and character of action of the different groups in the community than judging them No one who goes to South Africa for a serious study of the situation can ultimately avoid judgements But to the best of my abilshyity I have tried to separate facts and analysis from such judgements and to let the former speak for themshyselves On trips to South Africa Gwen met and interacted with politishycal and intellectual leaders at every level She made lifelong friends throughout the country and became a symbol of a caring outside world This was the crucial period of the imshyplementation of apartheid and Gwens insights provided scholars and policymakers with an undershystanding of what was happening in South Africa

Her monumental work From Protest to Challenge A Documentary History of African Politics in South Afrishyca 1882-1964 which was edited with Thomas Karis Sheridan Johns and Gail Gerhart is a collection of annoshytated documents and essays chronishy

cling African nationalism in South Afshyrica and the struggle for political s0shy

cial and economic rights Without Gwens efforts to collect preserve and protect these documents many of them would certainly have been lost In particular she helped arrange for important materials which might have been confiscated by the authorishyties to leave South Africa

So far I have written about Gwenshydolen Carter the scholar the consumshymate professional and the internationshyal figure On a more personal level she was a woman of great courage and independence who refused to acshycept barriers of any sort Despite the limitations imposed on her by a severe case of polio when she was four years old she was never spatially nor intelshylectually confined In reminiscing Gwen always said I was more intershyested in what I could do than I was inshyterested in what I couldnt do Her father a pediatrician and her mother encouraged her to do anything that she could do No part of Africa or for that matter of the world was inacshycessible despite her physical disabilishyty In an era of male domination Gwen considered no academic posishytion or office beyond her reach Her curiosity interest in human beings reshyfusal to accept barriers of any sort and her sense of adventure are all legenshydary Gwen loved to travel but she never went simply as a tourist She was purposeful and set out to find out what was going on and to meet eveshyryone In fact this started early At the age of 19 on a visit to her uncle who was mayor of Oxford at the time she was asked to act as mayoress for a day and she was presented to the Prince of Wales She really enjoyed meeting new people she kept the conshytacts alive through her voluminous correspondence and on her return visi ts she almost seemed a member of the family Through her conversations and questioning she gained insights and understanding and she translated these impressions into her writings

As a young woman she traveled to Nazi Germany with her lifelong friend

Louise Holborn In 1948-49 she went on a round-the-world trip visiting Commonwealth countries including South Africa where she remained for three months driving herself in a speshycially adapted car as she criss-crossed the country In the 195Os on the eve of independence for many African countries she again traveled extenshysively on the continent Her detailed accounts of her meetings and impresshysions will some day prove to be an inshyvaluable source of information for reshysearchers on this crucial period in African history

Gwen was a great teacher She shared her knowledge fully with her students and she generously opened her home to them for meals seminars and receptions But she also had high academic standards and if these were not met she had no hesitation in letting students know where they stood She helped countless students from Africa adjust to the demands of life in the United States and in many instances was responsible for their coming to America A number of her students are now at universities or in government positions in Africa

It has been a great privilege for me to know Gwen Carter and to work with her on several projects Gwens sense of freshness and excitement nurtured and sustained ideas Occashysionally we had different opinions but we always discussed them fully and resolved them through ongoing and lively debate She was a woman of deep convictions and real courage I can still hear her voice on her return from South Africa at the age of 80 afshyter she had been held in detention and interrogated by South African police I simply refused to talk with them I just kept demanding to see the American ambassador

I honor Gwen Carter as a teacher a researcher a personal friend and a pishyoneer She was a woman of fearless integrity and intrepid mind

PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE IN SUDAN The following information was provided by Africa Watch and Amnesty International

The Sudan Government is continuing to hold several hundred political prisoners in conditions that are seriously prejudicial to their physical and psychological health and in some cases put them in danger of serious disablity or premature death These are flagrant violations of the basic rights of detainees In addition torture is practiced on a systematic basis particularly in non-official detention centres

Since the current military government seized power in Sudan in June 1989 a total of several thousand people have been detained without charge and without trial at least once While most have subsequently been released there are presently estimated to be a minimum of 400 political prisoners in Sudan About half of this number are held in ghost-houses the unofficial detention centers of the security services and the remainder in the official prisons chiefly Kober Prison (Khartoum) Shalla Prison (Darfur Region) Port Sudan New Haifa and Kassala Prisons (eastern Region) Dabak prison (near Khartoum) and Military Headquarters More than fifty political detainees are known to be suffering from medical conditions which require treatment

Commonly those suspected of anti-government activities or views are detained by members of the security forces (organizations newly set up since the coup detat of June 1989) and taken at once to ghost houses In these centers detainees are subjected to a wide range of forms of abuse Africa Watch knows of over 70 detainees who have been subjected to torture Some of these methods leave serious physical and psychological scars and one detainee Dr Ali Fadul died under torture in April After a period ranging between a few days to several weeks the detainees are transferred to normal prisons including Kober Prison Shalla and Port Sudan In these prisons the detainees are not subjected to torture and are allowed to socialize with other prisoners However medical attention is frequently deliberately denied even to seriously ill detainees giving rise to grave concern in many cases In Shalla prison

located in a remote desert lack of food clean water and sanitation is also a matter of concern

Among the prisoners of conscience in Sudan are numerous academics detained without charge or trial since a new military government seized power Some have been released uncharged but up to a dozen are still held at various prisons in Sudan They are detained because of their peaceful opposition to the new military government and in some cases because of their past activities

Recommendations for action include writing urgent appeals to the Sudanese authorities listed below

ASA 5 NEWS

LETTERS Dear Dr Bay

I would like to thank you Dr Lashymouse-Smith and Dr Adell Patton for playing an instrumental role in making the African Studies Associashytions tribute to E Franklin Frazier possible Both the Saturday morning panel session on his life and work and the reception which was held the Friday evening before the session were successful

Since the Baltimore meeting I have become aware that my stateshyment on Professor Frazier liE Frankshylin Frazier ASA First African Amerishycan President and a Son of Baltimore has generated a debate as to whom the recognition of the first elected president of the association belongs The principals on which the debate centers are Frazier and Dr Robert Cummings who was presishydent of the ASA in 1985 The primary concern issues from an erroneous declaration that the African Studies Association elected Frazier as presishydent in 1963 Factually Frazier was elected to the office of vice president in 1962 a position from which under ASAs by-laws the encumbent autoshymatically accedes to the presidency Factually Cummings was elected vice president in 1984 and served as president in 1985 making him the first African American to serve a term as president of the ASA

The statement which appears in the program for the Thirty-Third Anshynual Meeting of ASA was not intendshyed to diminish the accomplishment of my fellow colleague Professor Cumshymings Rather it was an attempt to recognize the pioneering works of one of this countrys foremost scholshyars on the African American experishyence

Dear Dr Bay

We spotted an announcement in the newsletter a month or so back for your 1991 calendar Men and Women of Power Africa in Historical Photoshygraphs We ordered two copies one for a Christmas gift to ourselves and one for a friend

To our surprise on receipt of the calendars we leafed through them and came to July discovering Eliot Elisofons photo of the father and two brothers of one of oUT colleagues (and immediate past department chair) in the History Department at the Unishyversity of Lubumbashi He was born the year of the photo but immediately recognized which of his many brothshyers the two were One has been a Zairian politician and lives in Kinshashysa the other back in the royal village Our other friend lost his intended Christmas gift as it seemed only right to give it to Professor Belepe

For the sake of historical accuracy we would point out an error unshyderstandable for a visiting photograshypher which Professor Belepe noshyticed so it can be corrected for any future use of the photo There has been a confusion among three Kuba kings wi th similar names

Mbop Mabiinc maMbeky1916-1919 Kwete Mabiinc maKyen 1919-1939 Mbop Mabiinc maK yen 1939-1969

As the date of the photo indicates it is the third of these who is pictured here and so the third name is incorrect as is the beginning date of his reign

We are delighted with the calenshydars and sincerely hope that the ASA will repeat the fund-raiser again in 1992

The following letter to James Baker Secretary of State was shared with us by PeArl T Robinson President TransAfrishyca Boston Chapter

Dear Secretary Baker We in the Boston Chapter of Transshy

Africa are concerned that the US Govshyernment make the most positive conshytribution it can to the restoration of peace and security in Liberia and a transition to honest competitive and open elections for a constitutionally legitimate government of that beleashyguered country In keeping with this concern we emphasize the following beliefs

1) The peace and transition plan being implemented by the ECOW AS states offers the best hope that the tragically abused people of Liberia have to achieve a reasonably prompt restoration of law and order and a peaceful workable transition to deshymocracy The ECOWAS state should receive the commendation of the US government and whatever financial and diplomatic support we can give to ECOW AS to help it to carry the inishytiative to a successful conclusion

2) As a central part of the ECOWshyAS transition plan and reflecting the choice of the broadest meeting yet held of the substantial political groups of Liberians the Interim Govshyernment headed by Dr Amos Sawshyyer a person of proven integrity and competence has now taken up resishydence within the country We believe that the IG should receive the recogshynition and support of the US Governshyment The White House or State Deshypartment should immediately make that intention clearly evident

3) Distribution of food and other relief supplies should not be made subject to political criteria Donor agencies and organizations should provide such material and foodstuffs as they can to any other ports and regions of the country able to receive them However inspection by the

Interim Government or the ECOMOG forces of relief shipments coming into the country is a reasonable requirement in our view

4) Now that the Interim Government is in residence within the country the US after extending recognition should resume its economic and emergency assistance to that country working through the Interim Government Further working through the Interim Government the US should unblock all non-lethal assistance provided for Liberia under any of the pending or previous authorizations of assistance and in fact should expand its assistance program to help meet the acute needs for food and health relief resettlement of refugees and displaced persons and restoration of

basic services 5) The US should assist in the

immediate evacuation of refugees from Monrovia and elsewhere There is especially a need to provide security and safe passage for the thousands of persons at the Presidential Palace many of whom come from the former Presidents region or were associated with his regime and now fear for their lives Safe passage and refugee camp arrangements would be needed until these people can safely return to their homes

Liberia is too dose and important a friend of the US and has suffered too much already in which suffering we are complici t to merit being ignored or manipulated by our government in a period of such acute need and such

In Memoriam Gwendolen Carter Gwendolen M Carter died in

Orange City Florida on 20 February 1991 Her life spanned the extraordishynary events and transformations of the twentieth century and she was an active observer and participant in many of them She reached out to people and they in turn saw in her someone who would champion their causes and respond to their needs Human beings rather than detached institutions or political structures were at the center of her political analyses Her particular concern with Africa and her in-depth involvement with South Africa drew her into drashymatic circumstances She discussed politics with Kwame Nkrumah and saluted Nelson Mandela as he was led out of the courtroom to life imshyprisonment

Gwen Carter was born in Hamilshyton Ontario and received the BA from the University of Toronto in 1929 She then went to Oxford Unishyversity where she also received the BA in 1931 She was a member of the faculty of McMaster University at Hamilton Ontario from 1932 to 1935

before returning to Oxford to comshyplete the MA degree in 1936 In 1938 she was awarded the PhD from Radshycliffe College of Harvard University She taught at Wellesley College from 1938 to 1941 and at Tufts College in 1942-43 before joining the faculty at Smith College where she remained from 1943 to 1964 and where she was named to the Sophia Smith Chair of Political Science in 1961

In 1964 she was invited to become the director of the African Studies Proshygram at Northwestern University and was appointed the Melville J Hersshykovits Professor of African Affairs In 1974 she agreed to join the faculty of the African Studies Program and the Political Science Department of Indiashyna University and for the next ten years she enlivened the intellectual life of her colleagues and students In 1984 she accepted an offer from the University of Florida where she taught until 1987 Her international stature was recognized by the confershyral of honorary degrees from 13 unishyversities in the United States and Canshyada the George V Medal for Public

promise for renewal To continue to hesitate in

supporting the Interim Government headed by Dr Sawyer and to continue to encourage fighting forces to believe that some better arrangement than the Interim Government offers might corne to them through US influence as we believe that some US officials have done only prolongs the suffering of the Liberian people and impedes real progress toward full democratic and constitutional government in that country

We hope that you will give your most conscientious attention to the points we raise and take appropriate action

Service in 1935 the Achievement Award of the American Association of University Women in 1962 and the Distinguished Scholar Award of the ASA in 1978 She was president of the African Studies Association in 1958shy59 president of the New England Poshylitical Science Association in 1959-60 and vice president of the American Political Science Association in 1963shy64 In the 19405 she became an Amerishycan citizen and was frequently called upon as a consultant by government agencies and private organizations She was a member of the board of the African-American Institute for more than 20 years

Gwen Carter continued to publish and to be professionally engaged into her 80s Her publications which spanned a period of more than 40 years are her enduring and impresshysive legacy to all of us as well as to fushyture generations of scholars Her work ranged from her first book in 1947 on the British Commonwealth to numerous other books articles and essays The Governments of Great Britshyain France and the Soviet Union

which she coauthored with John H Rainey in 1949 was followed by five editions with John Herz For many years this was the preeminent text in comparative politics in departments of political science throughout the United States In the Preface to the first edition Carter and Rainey summed up their perspective Their approach aimed to depict governshyments as a living complex of activities and arrangements which change and develop in response to the character needs desires and purposes of hushyman beings Gwens concern with political power and its effects on peoshyples lives led her to an extensive stay in South Africa in the 1950s and reshysulted in her pioneering study The Politics of Inequality South Africa Since 1948 Some of her comments in the Inshytroduction to the book epitomize Gwens academic beliefs and commitshyment [TJhroughout most of my two substantial periods of investigation in [South Africa] I was far more conshycerned with understanding the points of view and character of action of the different groups in the community than judging them No one who goes to South Africa for a serious study of the situation can ultimately avoid judgements But to the best of my abilshyity I have tried to separate facts and analysis from such judgements and to let the former speak for themshyselves On trips to South Africa Gwen met and interacted with politishycal and intellectual leaders at every level She made lifelong friends throughout the country and became a symbol of a caring outside world This was the crucial period of the imshyplementation of apartheid and Gwens insights provided scholars and policymakers with an undershystanding of what was happening in South Africa

Her monumental work From Protest to Challenge A Documentary History of African Politics in South Afrishyca 1882-1964 which was edited with Thomas Karis Sheridan Johns and Gail Gerhart is a collection of annoshytated documents and essays chronishy

cling African nationalism in South Afshyrica and the struggle for political s0shy

cial and economic rights Without Gwens efforts to collect preserve and protect these documents many of them would certainly have been lost In particular she helped arrange for important materials which might have been confiscated by the authorishyties to leave South Africa

So far I have written about Gwenshydolen Carter the scholar the consumshymate professional and the internationshyal figure On a more personal level she was a woman of great courage and independence who refused to acshycept barriers of any sort Despite the limitations imposed on her by a severe case of polio when she was four years old she was never spatially nor intelshylectually confined In reminiscing Gwen always said I was more intershyested in what I could do than I was inshyterested in what I couldnt do Her father a pediatrician and her mother encouraged her to do anything that she could do No part of Africa or for that matter of the world was inacshycessible despite her physical disabilishyty In an era of male domination Gwen considered no academic posishytion or office beyond her reach Her curiosity interest in human beings reshyfusal to accept barriers of any sort and her sense of adventure are all legenshydary Gwen loved to travel but she never went simply as a tourist She was purposeful and set out to find out what was going on and to meet eveshyryone In fact this started early At the age of 19 on a visit to her uncle who was mayor of Oxford at the time she was asked to act as mayoress for a day and she was presented to the Prince of Wales She really enjoyed meeting new people she kept the conshytacts alive through her voluminous correspondence and on her return visi ts she almost seemed a member of the family Through her conversations and questioning she gained insights and understanding and she translated these impressions into her writings

As a young woman she traveled to Nazi Germany with her lifelong friend

Louise Holborn In 1948-49 she went on a round-the-world trip visiting Commonwealth countries including South Africa where she remained for three months driving herself in a speshycially adapted car as she criss-crossed the country In the 195Os on the eve of independence for many African countries she again traveled extenshysively on the continent Her detailed accounts of her meetings and impresshysions will some day prove to be an inshyvaluable source of information for reshysearchers on this crucial period in African history

Gwen was a great teacher She shared her knowledge fully with her students and she generously opened her home to them for meals seminars and receptions But she also had high academic standards and if these were not met she had no hesitation in letting students know where they stood She helped countless students from Africa adjust to the demands of life in the United States and in many instances was responsible for their coming to America A number of her students are now at universities or in government positions in Africa

It has been a great privilege for me to know Gwen Carter and to work with her on several projects Gwens sense of freshness and excitement nurtured and sustained ideas Occashysionally we had different opinions but we always discussed them fully and resolved them through ongoing and lively debate She was a woman of deep convictions and real courage I can still hear her voice on her return from South Africa at the age of 80 afshyter she had been held in detention and interrogated by South African police I simply refused to talk with them I just kept demanding to see the American ambassador

I honor Gwen Carter as a teacher a researcher a personal friend and a pishyoneer She was a woman of fearless integrity and intrepid mind

PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE IN SUDAN The following information was provided by Africa Watch and Amnesty International

The Sudan Government is continuing to hold several hundred political prisoners in conditions that are seriously prejudicial to their physical and psychological health and in some cases put them in danger of serious disablity or premature death These are flagrant violations of the basic rights of detainees In addition torture is practiced on a systematic basis particularly in non-official detention centres

Since the current military government seized power in Sudan in June 1989 a total of several thousand people have been detained without charge and without trial at least once While most have subsequently been released there are presently estimated to be a minimum of 400 political prisoners in Sudan About half of this number are held in ghost-houses the unofficial detention centers of the security services and the remainder in the official prisons chiefly Kober Prison (Khartoum) Shalla Prison (Darfur Region) Port Sudan New Haifa and Kassala Prisons (eastern Region) Dabak prison (near Khartoum) and Military Headquarters More than fifty political detainees are known to be suffering from medical conditions which require treatment

Commonly those suspected of anti-government activities or views are detained by members of the security forces (organizations newly set up since the coup detat of June 1989) and taken at once to ghost houses In these centers detainees are subjected to a wide range of forms of abuse Africa Watch knows of over 70 detainees who have been subjected to torture Some of these methods leave serious physical and psychological scars and one detainee Dr Ali Fadul died under torture in April After a period ranging between a few days to several weeks the detainees are transferred to normal prisons including Kober Prison Shalla and Port Sudan In these prisons the detainees are not subjected to torture and are allowed to socialize with other prisoners However medical attention is frequently deliberately denied even to seriously ill detainees giving rise to grave concern in many cases In Shalla prison

located in a remote desert lack of food clean water and sanitation is also a matter of concern

Among the prisoners of conscience in Sudan are numerous academics detained without charge or trial since a new military government seized power Some have been released uncharged but up to a dozen are still held at various prisons in Sudan They are detained because of their peaceful opposition to the new military government and in some cases because of their past activities

Recommendations for action include writing urgent appeals to the Sudanese authorities listed below

Interim Government or the ECOMOG forces of relief shipments coming into the country is a reasonable requirement in our view

4) Now that the Interim Government is in residence within the country the US after extending recognition should resume its economic and emergency assistance to that country working through the Interim Government Further working through the Interim Government the US should unblock all non-lethal assistance provided for Liberia under any of the pending or previous authorizations of assistance and in fact should expand its assistance program to help meet the acute needs for food and health relief resettlement of refugees and displaced persons and restoration of

basic services 5) The US should assist in the

immediate evacuation of refugees from Monrovia and elsewhere There is especially a need to provide security and safe passage for the thousands of persons at the Presidential Palace many of whom come from the former Presidents region or were associated with his regime and now fear for their lives Safe passage and refugee camp arrangements would be needed until these people can safely return to their homes

Liberia is too dose and important a friend of the US and has suffered too much already in which suffering we are complici t to merit being ignored or manipulated by our government in a period of such acute need and such

In Memoriam Gwendolen Carter Gwendolen M Carter died in

Orange City Florida on 20 February 1991 Her life spanned the extraordishynary events and transformations of the twentieth century and she was an active observer and participant in many of them She reached out to people and they in turn saw in her someone who would champion their causes and respond to their needs Human beings rather than detached institutions or political structures were at the center of her political analyses Her particular concern with Africa and her in-depth involvement with South Africa drew her into drashymatic circumstances She discussed politics with Kwame Nkrumah and saluted Nelson Mandela as he was led out of the courtroom to life imshyprisonment

Gwen Carter was born in Hamilshyton Ontario and received the BA from the University of Toronto in 1929 She then went to Oxford Unishyversity where she also received the BA in 1931 She was a member of the faculty of McMaster University at Hamilton Ontario from 1932 to 1935

before returning to Oxford to comshyplete the MA degree in 1936 In 1938 she was awarded the PhD from Radshycliffe College of Harvard University She taught at Wellesley College from 1938 to 1941 and at Tufts College in 1942-43 before joining the faculty at Smith College where she remained from 1943 to 1964 and where she was named to the Sophia Smith Chair of Political Science in 1961

In 1964 she was invited to become the director of the African Studies Proshygram at Northwestern University and was appointed the Melville J Hersshykovits Professor of African Affairs In 1974 she agreed to join the faculty of the African Studies Program and the Political Science Department of Indiashyna University and for the next ten years she enlivened the intellectual life of her colleagues and students In 1984 she accepted an offer from the University of Florida where she taught until 1987 Her international stature was recognized by the confershyral of honorary degrees from 13 unishyversities in the United States and Canshyada the George V Medal for Public

promise for renewal To continue to hesitate in

supporting the Interim Government headed by Dr Sawyer and to continue to encourage fighting forces to believe that some better arrangement than the Interim Government offers might corne to them through US influence as we believe that some US officials have done only prolongs the suffering of the Liberian people and impedes real progress toward full democratic and constitutional government in that country

We hope that you will give your most conscientious attention to the points we raise and take appropriate action

Gwen Carter continued to publish and to be professionally engaged into her 80s Her publications which spanned a period of more than 40 years are her enduring and impresshysive legacy to all of us as well as to fushyture generations of scholars Her work ranged from her first book in 1947 on the British Commonwealth to numerous other books articles and essays The Governments of Great Britshyain France and the Soviet Union

which she coauthored with John H Rainey in 1949 was followed by five editions with John Herz For many years this was the preeminent text in comparative politics in departments of political science throughout the United States In the Preface to the first edition Carter and Rainey summed up their perspective Their approach aimed to depict governshyments as a living complex of activities and arrangements which change and develop in response to the character needs desires and purposes of hushyman beings Gwens concern with political power and its effects on peoshyples lives led her to an extensive stay in South Africa in the 1950s and reshysulted in her pioneering study The Politics of Inequality South Africa Since 1948 Some of her comments in the Inshytroduction to the book epitomize Gwens academic beliefs and commitshyment [TJhroughout most of my two substantial periods of investigation in [South Africa] I was far more conshycerned with understanding the points of view and character of action of the different groups in the community than judging them No one who goes to South Africa for a serious study of the situation can ultimately avoid judgements But to the best of my abilshyity I have tried to separate facts and analysis from such judgements and to let the former speak for themshyselves On trips to South Africa Gwen met and interacted with politishycal and intellectual leaders at every level She made lifelong friends throughout the country and became a symbol of a caring outside world This was the crucial period of the imshyplementation of apartheid and Gwens insights provided scholars and policymakers with an undershystanding of what was happening in South Africa

Her monumental work From Protest to Challenge A Documentary History of African Politics in South Afrishyca 1882-1964 which was edited with Thomas Karis Sheridan Johns and Gail Gerhart is a collection of annoshytated documents and essays chronishy

cling African nationalism in South Afshyrica and the struggle for political s0shy

cial and economic rights Without Gwens efforts to collect preserve and protect these documents many of them would certainly have been lost In particular she helped arrange for important materials which might have been confiscated by the authorishyties to leave South Africa

So far I have written about Gwenshydolen Carter the scholar the consumshymate professional and the internationshyal figure On a more personal level she was a woman of great courage and independence who refused to acshycept barriers of any sort Despite the limitations imposed on her by a severe case of polio when she was four years old she was never spatially nor intelshylectually confined In reminiscing Gwen always said I was more intershyested in what I could do than I was inshyterested in what I couldnt do Her father a pediatrician and her mother encouraged her to do anything that she could do No part of Africa or for that matter of the world was inacshycessible despite her physical disabilishyty In an era of male domination Gwen considered no academic posishytion or office beyond her reach Her curiosity interest in human beings reshyfusal to accept barriers of any sort and her sense of adventure are all legenshydary Gwen loved to travel but she never went simply as a tourist She was purposeful and set out to find out what was going on and to meet eveshyryone In fact this started early At the age of 19 on a visit to her uncle who was mayor of Oxford at the time she was asked to act as mayoress for a day and she was presented to the Prince of Wales She really enjoyed meeting new people she kept the conshytacts alive through her voluminous correspondence and on her return visi ts she almost seemed a member of the family Through her conversations and questioning she gained insights and understanding and she translated these impressions into her writings

As a young woman she traveled to Nazi Germany with her lifelong friend

Louise Holborn In 1948-49 she went on a round-the-world trip visiting Commonwealth countries including South Africa where she remained for three months driving herself in a speshycially adapted car as she criss-crossed the country In the 195Os on the eve of independence for many African countries she again traveled extenshysively on the continent Her detailed accounts of her meetings and impresshysions will some day prove to be an inshyvaluable source of information for reshysearchers on this crucial period in African history

Gwen was a great teacher She shared her knowledge fully with her students and she generously opened her home to them for meals seminars and receptions But she also had high academic standards and if these were not met she had no hesitation in letting students know where they stood She helped countless students from Africa adjust to the demands of life in the United States and in many instances was responsible for their coming to America A number of her students are now at universities or in government positions in Africa

It has been a great privilege for me to know Gwen Carter and to work with her on several projects Gwens sense of freshness and excitement nurtured and sustained ideas Occashysionally we had different opinions but we always discussed them fully and resolved them through ongoing and lively debate She was a woman of deep convictions and real courage I can still hear her voice on her return from South Africa at the age of 80 afshyter she had been held in detention and interrogated by South African police I simply refused to talk with them I just kept demanding to see the American ambassador

I honor Gwen Carter as a teacher a researcher a personal friend and a pishyoneer She was a woman of fearless integrity and intrepid mind

which she coauthored with John H Rainey in 1949 was followed by five editions with John Herz For many years this was the preeminent text in comparative politics in departments of political science throughout the United States In the Preface to the first edition Carter and Rainey summed up their perspective Their approach aimed to depict governshyments as a living complex of activities and arrangements which change and develop in response to the character needs desires and purposes of hushyman beings Gwens concern with political power and its effects on peoshyples lives led her to an extensive stay in South Africa in the 1950s and reshysulted in her pioneering study The Politics of Inequality South Africa Since 1948 Some of her comments in the Inshytroduction to the book epitomize Gwens academic beliefs and commitshyment [TJhroughout most of my two substantial periods of investigation in [South Africa] I was far more conshycerned with understanding the points of view and character of action of the different groups in the community than judging them No one who goes to South Africa for a serious study of the situation can ultimately avoid judgements But to the best of my abilshyity I have tried to separate facts and analysis from such judgements and to let the former speak for themshyselves On trips to South Africa Gwen met and interacted with politishycal and intellectual leaders at every level She made lifelong friends throughout the country and became a symbol of a caring outside world This was the crucial period of the imshyplementation of apartheid and Gwens insights provided scholars and policymakers with an undershystanding of what was happening in South Africa

Her monumental work From Protest to Challenge A Documentary History of African Politics in South Afrishyca 1882-1964 which was edited with Thomas Karis Sheridan Johns and Gail Gerhart is a collection of annoshytated documents and essays chronishy

cling African nationalism in South Afshyrica and the struggle for political s0shy

cial and economic rights Without Gwens efforts to collect preserve and protect these documents many of them would certainly have been lost In particular she helped arrange for important materials which might have been confiscated by the authorishyties to leave South Africa

So far I have written about Gwenshydolen Carter the scholar the consumshymate professional and the internationshyal figure On a more personal level she was a woman of great courage and independence who refused to acshycept barriers of any sort Despite the limitations imposed on her by a severe case of polio when she was four years old she was never spatially nor intelshylectually confined In reminiscing Gwen always said I was more intershyested in what I could do than I was inshyterested in what I couldnt do Her father a pediatrician and her mother encouraged her to do anything that she could do No part of Africa or for that matter of the world was inacshycessible despite her physical disabilishyty In an era of male domination Gwen considered no academic posishytion or office beyond her reach Her curiosity interest in human beings reshyfusal to accept barriers of any sort and her sense of adventure are all legenshydary Gwen loved to travel but she never went simply as a tourist She was purposeful and set out to find out what was going on and to meet eveshyryone In fact this started early At the age of 19 on a visit to her uncle who was mayor of Oxford at the time she was asked to act as mayoress for a day and she was presented to the Prince of Wales She really enjoyed meeting new people she kept the conshytacts alive through her voluminous correspondence and on her return visi ts she almost seemed a member of the family Through her conversations and questioning she gained insights and understanding and she translated these impressions into her writings

As a young woman she traveled to Nazi Germany with her lifelong friend

Louise Holborn In 1948-49 she went on a round-the-world trip visiting Commonwealth countries including South Africa where she remained for three months driving herself in a speshycially adapted car as she criss-crossed the country In the 195Os on the eve of independence for many African countries she again traveled extenshysively on the continent Her detailed accounts of her meetings and impresshysions will some day prove to be an inshyvaluable source of information for reshysearchers on this crucial period in African history

Gwen was a great teacher She shared her knowledge fully with her students and she generously opened her home to them for meals seminars and receptions But she also had high academic standards and if these were not met she had no hesitation in letting students know where they stood She helped countless students from Africa adjust to the demands of life in the United States and in many instances was responsible for their coming to America A number of her students are now at universities or in government positions in Africa

It has been a great privilege for me to know Gwen Carter and to work with her on several projects Gwens sense of freshness and excitement nurtured and sustained ideas Occashysionally we had different opinions but we always discussed them fully and resolved them through ongoing and lively debate She was a woman of deep convictions and real courage I can still hear her voice on her return from South Africa at the age of 80 afshyter she had been held in detention and interrogated by South African police I simply refused to talk with them I just kept demanding to see the American ambassador

I honor Gwen Carter as a teacher a researcher a personal friend and a pishyoneer She was a woman of fearless integrity and intrepid mind

PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE IN SUDAN The following information was provided by Africa Watch and Amnesty International

The Sudan Government is continuing to hold several hundred political prisoners in conditions that are seriously prejudicial to their physical and psychological health and in some cases put them in danger of serious disablity or premature death These are flagrant violations of the basic rights of detainees In addition torture is practiced on a systematic basis particularly in non-official detention centres

Since the current military government seized power in Sudan in June 1989 a total of several thousand people have been detained without charge and without trial at least once While most have subsequently been released there are presently estimated to be a minimum of 400 political prisoners in Sudan About half of this number are held in ghost-houses the unofficial detention centers of the security services and the remainder in the official prisons chiefly Kober Prison (Khartoum) Shalla Prison (Darfur Region) Port Sudan New Haifa and Kassala Prisons (eastern Region) Dabak prison (near Khartoum) and Military Headquarters More than fifty political detainees are known to be suffering from medical conditions which require treatment

Commonly those suspected of anti-government activities or views are detained by members of the security forces (organizations newly set up since the coup detat of June 1989) and taken at once to ghost houses In these centers detainees are subjected to a wide range of forms of abuse Africa Watch knows of over 70 detainees who have been subjected to torture Some of these methods leave serious physical and psychological scars and one detainee Dr Ali Fadul died under torture in April After a period ranging between a few days to several weeks the detainees are transferred to normal prisons including Kober Prison Shalla and Port Sudan In these prisons the detainees are not subjected to torture and are allowed to socialize with other prisoners However medical attention is frequently deliberately denied even to seriously ill detainees giving rise to grave concern in many cases In Shalla prison

located in a remote desert lack of food clean water and sanitation is also a matter of concern

Among the prisoners of conscience in Sudan are numerous academics detained without charge or trial since a new military government seized power Some have been released uncharged but up to a dozen are still held at various prisons in Sudan They are detained because of their peaceful opposition to the new military government and in some cases because of their past activities

Recommendations for action include writing urgent appeals to the Sudanese authorities listed below

PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE IN SUDAN The following information was provided by Africa Watch and Amnesty International

The Sudan Government is continuing to hold several hundred political prisoners in conditions that are seriously prejudicial to their physical and psychological health and in some cases put them in danger of serious disablity or premature death These are flagrant violations of the basic rights of detainees In addition torture is practiced on a systematic basis particularly in non-official detention centres

Since the current military government seized power in Sudan in June 1989 a total of several thousand people have been detained without charge and without trial at least once While most have subsequently been released there are presently estimated to be a minimum of 400 political prisoners in Sudan About half of this number are held in ghost-houses the unofficial detention centers of the security services and the remainder in the official prisons chiefly Kober Prison (Khartoum) Shalla Prison (Darfur Region) Port Sudan New Haifa and Kassala Prisons (eastern Region) Dabak prison (near Khartoum) and Military Headquarters More than fifty political detainees are known to be suffering from medical conditions which require treatment

Commonly those suspected of anti-government activities or views are detained by members of the security forces (organizations newly set up since the coup detat of June 1989) and taken at once to ghost houses In these centers detainees are subjected to a wide range of forms of abuse Africa Watch knows of over 70 detainees who have been subjected to torture Some of these methods leave serious physical and psychological scars and one detainee Dr Ali Fadul died under torture in April After a period ranging between a few days to several weeks the detainees are transferred to normal prisons including Kober Prison Shalla and Port Sudan In these prisons the detainees are not subjected to torture and are allowed to socialize with other prisoners However medical attention is frequently deliberately denied even to seriously ill detainees giving rise to grave concern in many cases In Shalla prison

located in a remote desert lack of food clean water and sanitation is also a matter of concern

Among the prisoners of conscience in Sudan are numerous academics detained without charge or trial since a new military government seized power Some have been released uncharged but up to a dozen are still held at various prisons in Sudan They are detained because of their peaceful opposition to the new military government and in some cases because of their past activities

Recommendations for action include writing urgent appeals to the Sudanese authorities listed below
