Description

In 1955, when this survey was originally written, there was only one independent African state -- Liberia -- south of the Sahara; by 1964 there were some two dozen. Africa has been revolutionized, with these emergent nations playing an important role in the United Nations, refusing to be taken for granted in international affairs, and determined to press forward with urgent developmental plans for human betterment. In this revised edition, the author has added a chapter entitled 'Eight Momentous Years, 1956-1964.' Extracts from Prime Minister Macmillan's 1960 'Wind of Change' speech and views on apartheid in this period are also included.
