 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
related ground but in different ways — this will govern our selection
principles. All contributions will be assessed anonymously by referees.
Contributions should preferably not exceed the following lengths:
Analytical articles: 7 000 words
Debates and review articles: 3 000 words
The views expressed in TRANSFORMATION do not necessarily reflect
those of the editors.

ARTICLES
AROUND WHICH CORNER?:
REVOLUTIONARY THEORY AND
CONTEMPORARY SOUTH AFRICA                                           1
    In a major reconsideration of contemporary South African
    politics, COLIN BUNDY looks back at political debates on
    the Left of the pre-Sharpeville period. He considers critically
    the revolutionary strategies that have developed since by
    examining South Africa in the light of revolutionary theory
    more generally.
SECURITY MANAGEMENT UPGRADING IN THE
BLACK TOWNSHIPS                                                     24
    Unlike the conventional wisdom that state incorporationist
    strategies are irrelevant, ANDREW BORAINE's in-depth
    study ofMamelodi examines the implications of a shift in state
    urban strategy.
THE SOUTH AFRICAN STATE AND THE OUKASIE
REMOVAL                                                             47
     While post-1986 township upgrading, restructuring and class
    formation is going on apace in some localities, ALAN
     MORRIS argues that an examination of Oukasie near the
     centre of Brits in the Transvaal reveals the stubbornness of
    pre-'Reform' removal policy in one locale.


DEBATE

MORRELL'S "EDUCATION STRUGGLES"                                        64
    MELANIE WALKER responds to a recent contribution on
    class and politics amongst African teachers by Rob Morrell by
    looking at militant activity on the part of teachers, particularly
    in the Western Cape.
SACOS: TOWARDS PLAYER CONTROL                                          70
    YUNUS CARRIM responds to a discussion of SACOS policy
    that appeared in Transformation 6.
