Black Africa and De Gaulle

Pages : 336
Book Description
Focusing on President de Gaulle's role, this book describes and analyzes the coming of independence to the former French colonies of sub-Saharan Africa. A prologue summarizes events of the colonial era, and an epilogue recounts developments since the completion of the French Community in 1961. In 1960, fourteen sub-Saharan colonies were granted independence by France after referendums set up by President de Gaulle (Guinea had declared itself independent in 1958 after rejecting a referendum, and Somaliland only achieved independence in 1977). Six of the fourteen new nations quickly decided to remain outside the French Community but to retain certain economic and cultural ties, and by now there are only five full members. But all the Black African states have accepted some French help, and authorities have estimated that "France, in proportion to its inhabitants, has given the greatest aid of any nation to the underdeveloped countries." Dr. White vividly describes the General's shift after an African tour in 1960, from Confederation ("I, de Gaulle, say 'Federation' and there we stop.") to Cooperation. Since 1974, she shows, President d'Estaing has worked to remove neocolonial vestiges from Cooperation. At the Franco-African Summit meeting of 1976, he advocated "an order acceptable to all, on bases that take into consideration the imperatives of world economic development."
