Review of African Political Economy - Vol. 10 No. 27/28 Afrocommunism (Ottaway/Ottaway)

Abstract of Review

Title:	Afrocommunism by David and Marina Ottaway
Reviewer:	Barry Munslow
Location:	Vol.10 No.27/28 (Winter 1983), pp216-217

The Ottaway's reason for choosing the term 'Afrocommunism' is used to characterise those African states propounding marxism-leninism as distinct from 'African socialist' which generally preceded them historically. This review draws out the distinction's between the two and discusses the dangers in taking the similarities too far.
