Gunther's survey of Africa in the mid-1950s — just as independence movements were beginning, capturing the continent at the cusp of decolonization.
A portrait of Africa in 1953-54: colonial administration, emerging nationalism, and the variety of African political conditions. Written just before independence movements succeeded — historically valuable as a snapshot of the pre-independence moment. Covers both sub-Saharan and North African countries.
No conceptual posterity found.
