Abstract: | Global capitalism, the West and the international financial institutions, as well as local elites of State and private sectors, both white and black, won the struggle for southern African liberation. But how about the mass of southern African populations, both urban and rural and largely black? Has it not been kind of a defeat for them? The country case studies included in this special section of ROAPE give a clear sense of the reality of this defeat. What is especially disconcerting about the present recolonization of the region under the flag of capitalism is that it is driven by precisely the same movements that led their countries to independence in the long years of overt regional struggle. Following the introductory paper by John S. Saul, David Sogge reports on Angola; John S. Saul on Mozambique; Henning Melber on Namibia; Patrick Bond on South Africa; and Richard Saunders on Zimbabwe.
