Description:	The Spatial Factor in African History. The Relationship of the Social, Material, and Perceptual is the product of a planned, long-term effort to bring together scholars who have been applying spatial analysis in their work. From the beginning, we have hoped to demonstrate the usefulness of spatial analysis for many problems in the writing of African history and for current issues as well. The project originated informally when most of the present contributors, and others, began talking after a panel at the 1996 Annual Meeting of the African Studies Association, where Allen Howard presented a paper on spatial analysis. At that time, we discovered that we had many common interests and were seeking new ways of applying spatial analysis in our work. All of us agreed with the proposition that social space is not simply something “out there,” a passive backdrop for events, but rather that space and social practices are dynamically linked.
