Corrections
As a result of a typographical error on page 9, column 3, the
"Kikuyu" and "Maasai" peoples were listed as one. They are, of
course, two separate units. We regret the error.
We neglected to include a key source of
Africa-related publications in the Directory of
Organizations: the Africa Book Centre in London. Contact them at:
africabooks@dial.pipex.com.
