        PUBLICATION              GUIDELINES:
  We ask contributors to submit two (2) typed copies, following the format
(on such issues as references and notes) of articles in this issue of
TRANSFORMATION.
  Whilst the journal will cater for work at any level of abstraction or
detail, a number of criteria will guide the editors in selection of
material for inclusion. Articles should aim for academic rigour but also
clarify the political implications of the issues discussed. We are
concerned not to compete with other South African journals that may cover
related ground but in different ways; this will also govern our selection
principles.
  All contributions will be assessed anonymously by referees.
Contributions should preferably not exceed the following lengths:
     analytical articles                7000 words
     debates and review articles        3000 words
The views expressed in TRANSFORMATION do not necessarily reflect those of
the editors.
