The African Condition: A Political Diagnosis

The African Condition: A Political Diagnosis

By Ali A. Mazrui

Cambridge University Press, 1980, 192 pp.

Once again Mazrui sashays blithely through history, covering a span from the Garden of Eden to nuclear holocaust. As usual with this author the byways are many and varied, including, for example, digressions upon Edmund Burke, women's liberation, and the Japanese fishing industry.
