Black Africa

In this book, the late Cheikh Anta Diop presents a dynamic and convincing argument for the creation of a unified black African state. This new revised edition is supplemented with a interview by renowned political analyst and journalist Carlos Moore and delineates Diop's vision of Africa's emergence as a major world power.
Diop explains why attempts at economic developmentand cooperation cannot succeed apart from the political unification of black Africa and why the freedom of South African blacks can be achieved only with the support of all African states.
He shows how the national and tribal groupings share a common cultural heritage, how linguistic unification is possible, and how the preservation and development of Africas's natural resources could transform the life of its people. For Diop, the ultimate aim of unity is the restoration of the historical consciousness of black and African peoples and the complete recovery of political sovereignty in a postcolonial world.
