         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. Contribu-
tions 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.
