American Intellectuals and African Nationalists, 1955-1970

By Martin Staniland and Professor Martin Staniland

As colonial empires in Africa collapsed and more than 40 new states were established in the late 1950's and 1960's, intellectuals in America were suddenly faced with the challenge of investigating and interpreting the meaning of African nationalism and self-government. This book explores the different ways that American opinion makers from conservative, liberal Marxist, and African-American journals reacted to events in Africa during these years.
