The achievement of independence in tropical Africa temporarily checked the rise of nationalist sentiment. In most territories hopes gave way to a sense of anticlimax, a heightened awareness of social stratification and the resurgence of ethnic loyalties. The reactive process which produced the beginnings of organized mass followings and much wider popular acclaim for charismatic leaders had ended at least, in the clearly focused form of demands for one man, one vote, political independence and national development as opposed to overt colonial dependency
