Abstract: | Pan-Africanism has failed all across the continent in the face of crude nationalism. There is a vide division between the mass of the poor and the high-consumption elites who are in control everywhere. The administrative structures are continually expanding. There is a desperate passion for education at every level and in every country throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The question is raised: Are these conditions not intimately linked in a single system which determines the common pattern? This study suggests that they are, and sets forth the chain of causality which leads inevitably from the last condition to the first. Ref., notes, schemes. |
