Title:Modernisation and individual modernity: structural convergence and psychological syndromes
Author:Hoogvelt, A.
Year:1973
Periodical:Africana Research Bulletin
Volume:4
Issue:2
Pages:23-37
Language:English
Geographic term:Sierra Leone
Subject:change
Abstract:After meticulous comparative analysis of selected echelons of the Sierra Leone community, and of certain groups of a U.K. urban community (Sheffield), the author's conclusion is that despite the much wider range of changes occurring in a developing state, there is a greater confidence amongst the Sierra Leonean groups as to their ability to determine courses of action. In many dimensions, the attitudes of the two widely divergent societies are found to be in fact similar contributing support to the idea of a world-view vis-a-vis modern attitudes. Notes, tables.
