Africa: Problems and Prospects. A Bibliographic Survey.

Abstract

This bibliographic survey of literature on Africa's problems and prospects updates the bibliographic survey on Africa published in November 1973. Since that date, many significant events have occurred which have heightened worldwide interest in this vast continent with its diversity of peoples, languages, and contrasting cultures. Some knowledge of the forces--political, economic, social, and military--that are shaping the future of Africa will be helpful in understanding the nature of developing events as well as the potential of this vast region. Toward this end, this publication should be useful in identifying recent sources of literature concerning this region. This analytical survey is based on unclassified publications (friendly and unfriendly) located for the most part on the open shelves of The Army Library, Headquarters, Department of the Army, Pentagon. The work includes data ranging from the strategic importance of Africa as a continent, to facts and figures on the political, economic, sociological, and military aspects of individual African states.
