Présence Africaine
No. 48

CHEIKH ANTA DIOP on “African Sociology and Methods of Research” and DR EDUARDO MONDLANE — founding president of FRELIMO, assassinated in 1969 — on the struggle for independence in Mozambique. JANHEINZ JAHN, the German critic whose Muntu shaped European reading of African literature, writes on African literature; and Josué de Castro on Brazil and the Afro-Asian world. The contents also carry RAYA DUNAYEVSKAYA on Marxist-humanism, DENISE PAULME on traditional systems of land tenure, the South African writer RICHARD RIVE’s story “Resurrection”, and Thomas Melone on the theme of negritude and its literary problems. Palaver includes the rôle of the soldier in independent Africa and the Bamako Conference.
