Présence Africaine
No. 49

NKRUMAH’s “Consciencism” opens the issue. MIKE THELWELL writes on “The August 28th March on Washington: The Castrated Giant” — an African-American assessment of the March printed months after it happened — and Thomas L. V. Blair on “Du Bois and the Century of African Liberation”, the year after Du Bois died in Accra. Two pieces on cinema: Blaise Senghor on the prerequisites for a truly African cinema and Timite Bassori asking whether it will be still-born. Also Louis T. Achille on racial feeling among Negro-American poets, and a short story, “The Song of the Lake”, by OLYMPE BHELY-QUENUM.
