This is an attempt to consider race relations in a British West African colony by the approach of small-group sociology. Changes in the structure of society, notably in and through the civil service, have affected the standing of the exclusive white clubs. These clubs, under official pressure and African challenge from outside and inside, have felt the impact of younger Europeans strongly identified with Africans. The article describes the reaction of a particular club and the methods by which it has met the crisis and contained the challenge
