Paperback published in 1962. The focus in this provocative analysis of African political development is on a dynamic progression in African nationalism. George Shepherd, who has traveled widely in Africa and talked with many of the continent's leading nationalists, sees the traditional Western forms of nationalism rapidly giving way to a "new Africanism" that is militantly Pan-Africanist and view the West as neocolonial in its African politics.

After the initial exhilaration of independence, many African nations have had to face ongoing crisis and witness their hopes for a better life recede into the indefinite future. In his new book, George Sheperd looks beyond standard cold-war interpretations and conventional North-South development analysis for an explanation not only of the plight of African nations, but of the means to remedy it. His thesis of subordination to continuing superpower dominance offers striking new insights into the debt, famine, war, racism, and human rights violations that plague Third World countries.
