The fifth article, by Jeremy Keenan, concerns Algeria and appraises issues crucial to understanding not only the Algerian War of Independence, but also Algerian society as a whole, especially the role of Islam in Algerian nationalism and the nature of Berberism.
The sixth article, by Jan F. Beekman, describes variety in communist thinking, especially its interpretation in Yugoslavia and Roumania.
The seventh article, by John Rees, concerns the stand of the World Council of Churches towards South Africa, looking at its history, and the decision taken at its Utrecht meeting in 1972 to pursue a course of disinvestment and withdrawal from South Africa.
