Quotes by Samuel Charters (?)

“In all of this posturing there is little interest in Africa itself. As any educated African has noticed, the only time news from Africa appears in the newspapers of the world is when there are Europeans or Americans involved, or when there is some development that affects western interests. The changes that are sweeping over Africa, the new society that is emerging in Africa goes unnoticed. Instead there are the clichés and the vague generalities that involve the writers' own societies.”
― Samuel Charters, The Roots of the Blues : An African Search
