- First words
- European ideas about Africa, before the years of discovery, varied remarkably with time and place.
Introduction: Nearly five hundred years have passed since Europe and Africa--continental Africa, the land of the blacks--first made acquaintance and began their trading intercourse.
Author's Note: African independence is one of the great facts of the modern world. - Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Now in our own day the same liberating unity is once more forged across the world, and all those men and women in Europe and elsewhere who have seen or now see the cause of their own human enlargement in the renaissance of Africa are welcomed by the lifting voices of resurgent life in Africa itself: inexhaustible, ever-quickened, keen with hope.
