It takes just such excellent reporting as Basil Davidson's in "Empire Building: 1953 Style" (MR, August 1953) to bring Africa out of the dark. But because he concentrates on mining imperialism, his political analysis is necessarily incomplete. Consequently, one could get from Mr. Davidson's article the erroneous impression of an expanding British position fortified by American interests in southern Africa. The very opposite impression would conform more closely to the political realities there.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website
