Extract

One of the most critical paradoxes of the last quarter of the twentieth century is the declining support for area studies, especially at this time when the global community has entered such a notable phase of interdependence. The continent of Africa and its people are as important in this interdependency as any others of the world community. Indeed, no other continent in the world’s history has provided to the international community so many new and independent nations. Concomitantly, this world area has among its assets unknown quantities of potential wealth in natural resources.
