eater-for-development process. A brief discussion of theater-for-development (TFD) presents this drama form as an experimental collaborative process designed to take theater out of urban enclaves and make it accessible to the masses, presenting such common concerns as crop production, water shortages, immunization, literacy, and family planning. A day-by-day diary account of this working group illustrates an overview of, and specific tasks involved with, the production of a "theater pungwe" - people's theater. A TFD model lists educational objectives for the drama process and defines the workshop objectives, which are (1) to train development cadres and theater artists in theater-for-development, and (2) to start a TFD program in Murewa area of Zimbabwe as a training and popular education/culture program. The report's concluding sections provide an analysis of the workshop, including constraints, relationship with villagers, organizational strategy, and team work. An extensive bibliography is included." (www.eric.ed.gov)

The African volume contains an extensive introductory essay by Hans Zell, and an index to all four volumes in the series, compiled by Caroline Bundy.

Data varies according to the type of organization or institution and completeness and accuracy also vary because, the editors tell us, 45 percent of addresses failed to update their entries or retum the questionnaire. These cases are indicated with a dagger or asterisk. Even so, it provides a formidable amount of information. Librarians proved the best respondents; consequently data about libraries is more likely to be the most complete. Arrangement is alphabetical by country.

"It would be a mistake to imagine that reporting from southern Africa is a special case.

int expressed to the author by the agency correspondents working in southern Africa. While clearly this is essential if the newsmen are to carry out their jobs, it is also fraught with problems. It means that the world is reduced to a unidimensionality which it does not have. Different situations demand different treatments. However, realization of this must also be accompanied by an awareness of the particular types of official control practised by the southern African regimes. This control impinges directly upon the newsmen stationed in southern Africa, in a manner that affects the types of output they are able to produce. As outsiders looking in upon the world of journalism, we are perfectly entitled to criticize the ways in which the agency newsmen operate in situations we find personally abhorrent. As outsiders looking in, however, we must not lose sight of the very severe constraints placed upon these newsmen by regimes determined to control the flow of news and information both to and from their countries."

"As political freedom came to the Continent, so did press freedom disappear," is Barton's opening sentence. Although his attitude is definitely colonial, this statement is not as prejudiced as it first appears, for he attempts to put it in a historical perspective by making the case that this trend

in Africa has happened in many non-African countries which today claim some sort of press freedom. Against this background he surveys in breadth rather than depth first the white colonial press and then the emergent black press in French-speaking Africa, East and Central Africa, Portuguese Africa, "the White South," Swaziland, and "unconquered Africa" - Liberia and Ethiopia. He omits Arab Africa because he feels the cultural differences to be too great." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 27)
