Présence Africaine
No. 50

The fiftieth number, organised into sections. A SOUTH AFRICA dossier carries the report of the UN Special Committee on Apartheid, MICHAEL SCOTT’s “Whither South Africa?”, replies to an enquiry and an analysis of the political situation. Under SCIENCE, ABDOU MOUMOUNI writes on solar energy in African countries; under HISTORY, Jean Suret-Canale on the social context and consequences of the African slave-trade; and under LINGUISTICS, DR JAN KNAPPERT on “Swahili: A Language of Culture”. Gabriel d’Arboussier opens on new problems faced by African law, and YAMBO OUOLOGUEM — four years before Le Devoir de Violence — writes on Marx and the strangeness of African socialism.
