Abstract

It is not simply that most of the countries which were then colonies and protectorates are now independent. It is, rather, that they have asserted their ‘Africanness’. Looking ahead in 1950 Professor MacInnes wrote ‘Colonial peoples are ceasing to be the docile acceptors of external rule they once were’. Before them, he believed, lay two possible lines of developmentthe way of the Communist world and the way of the Western powers. During the past quarter of a century the newly independent African states for the most part have striven to show that there was a third way, their own. 11 The donor countries that are encouraging Africans to take the democratic path are also the countries that are encouraging Africans to adopt economic policies that alienate the people that make development extremely difficult because of their misunderstanding of the nature and causes of Africa’s economic crises.
