“…2 In the United States, a review of contributions to the leading Africanist journal revealed that only 6 per cent of contributions were made by geographers. Political science and 'policy issues' (particularly concerned with African development) in Englishspeaking Africa accounted for the largest proportion of contributions, roughly 25 per cent (Saunders, 1993).…”

“…A notable advance in the 1980s was the serious treatment of state theory and state politics. As evidence of this interest, Saunders (1993) calculates that the largest number of contributions to the African Studies Review during the 1980s was on state power. Samatar and Samatar (1987) have provided an original analysis of what they call the 'suspended state' in Somalia drawing upon comparative work in India and East Asia, and this has also been the hallmark of much of the so-called new wave human and regional geography in South Africa (Crush & Rogerson, 1983).…”

This overview of human geographic studies of sub Saharan Africa begins with the contributions made by West European geographers to the colonial service, and the growing interest in post‐war ‘development’ and to the anti‐imperial movements in the late colonial period (1945–60). The paper provides an intellectual map of the contributions by European and African geographers to the broad array of development problems which emerged after 1960. North American geographers made significant contributions to the debate somewhat later, particularly in association with the growing involvement of U.S. development agencies in the 1970s. Particular emphasis is given to geographic studies in fields such as agrarian change, ecological degradation, industrialization, human mobility and patterns of urbanization and settlement.
