Since its independence from France in 1959, it has of necessity continued to depend on i…

It is strategically located in West Africa, with a well-educated and hardworking population, and endowed with considerable natural resources, indeed, enough to make it reasonably affluent if properly utilized. But this potential has never really been tapped, due mainly to bad politics with military men following a charismatic politician, until finally democracy has been achieved. So, more …

Using the Personalized System of Instruction to Teach African History
Reluctantly and sporadically college and university instructors of African history surveys are discovering that effective teaching is not guaranteed solely by the excellence of our research.

Unfortunately few of us are prepared to bridge the gap between t…

In closing remarks as President of the African Studies Association, Philip D. Curt…
