Présence Africaine
No. 64

THE TWENTIETH-ANNIVERSARY NUMBER of the journal, and a HOMMAGE À LANGSTON HUGHES, who had died that May: NICOLÁS GUILLÉN remembers him, Lamine Diakhaté calls him “conquérant de l’espoir”, the Sierra Leonean critic ELDRED JONES writes “Laughing To Keep From Crying”, and ANDREW SALKEY and TED JOANS add tributes. AYI KWEI ARMAH opens the issue with “African Socialism: Utopian or Scientific?” — the year before The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born. Also a TABLE RONDE on education in Africa, Virgilio de Lemos on the political evolution of teaching in Mozambique, and Cécile McHardy on the Seminoles.
