Abstract

I want in this paper to examine a cluster of problems central to the consciousness of our time. First, let me elaborate upon the problems I want to discuss nationalism, alienation and the crisis of ideology. 1 There is in Africa a growing 'nationalism' of a narrow, often separatist kind. This problem really existed prior to the imperial-colonial era and is resurfacing now with great urgency. Mere assertions of the need forPan-Africanism have, not unexpectedly, met with little response, for this new nationalism is now based upon the economic realities of the malformed economies that are the product of outward directed growth.2 The unequal development of different regions greatly fuels potential animosities.
