Workshop on the Role of Women in Urban Development
The main aim of the social affairs section of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, in organising this workshop, was to analyse the economic aspects of the situation of women in African urban areas, and their importance in general economic development.

Ethnology and Ethnography
Oriental Versions of Polyphem's Myth
A major problem in the study of cultural diffusion consists in determining how direct the contact between two cultures has been, and more particularly whether the written word has helped in the process. An interesting case is provided by the existence in the East of Homeric tales, especially that of Polyphem, in both folklore and literature, while at the same time nothing in the eastern world approaches the widespread and precise knowledge and th…

Some Aspects of Urbanization in the Belgian Congo
Differences in colonial policy are not reflected in the ecology of Leopoldville and Brazzaville, which are alike and reminiscent of American patterns. A class of Westernized Africans is growing up, with marginal characteristics, some apparently universal and others local, but the urban masses remain tribally conscious and mix little. This does not prevent the growth of intertribal customs, which today include significant extended family relations…

The subject of native churches in Africa was brought to light for the first time in a comprehensive way by the late Raymond L. Buell, an American journalist whose first-hand report 1 later on was used as a foundation for articles by European authors with no actual African experience.2 Some Protestant missionaries also published on the subject studies of local interest. I am here presenting some results of observations made at three different urba…

Some African Problems of Today
Africa today stands as the last stronghold of colonial activities. It is a continent fast developing—as are all parts of the world in these days of growth and change—but its development has unique features. The most characteristic of all is that its progress is conditioned by pressure from the outside, rather than the local urge for expansion. Ever since the partition of Africa by the colonial powers, at the Berlin Conference of 1885, independent…
