No doubt that most if not all would agree that Africa is a rich continent, if not the most richest continent on earth. If it will ever become a unified continent, it will be an economic powerhouse very well able to provide for itself and many others many times over. Dr Diop's book serves as fresh reminder to early 21st century readers that many of the energy ideas, economic ideas, and political ideas are not new. They are just being rehashed. One day Africa will fulfill Dr Diop and many other's dreams of becoming a United Africa. Probably without the name Africa since that name was coined by the Romans.

I truly wish I could memorize this book and then go around AFRICA preaching it, for the sake of Humanity's survival ! And I cant believe how true and relevant this book is today in 2010 when it was written so long ago ! Young generation of Africans have a map, all we have to do is follow it ! Instead of being lost following Europe, America, China, The United Nations, The World this, the World that ! Cheik Anta Diop has spoken with heart and logic in the interest of AFRICA and AFRICANS and the WORLD !!! The mission for new generation is to apply this book or come up with better ideas when it comes to the reality of a Federal Africa. But why re invent the wheel ? This is the wheel for African Unity and prosperity.
