The President of Guinea, Monsieur Sekou Toure , is widely regarded as a doctrinaire Marxist who has built up an African State essentially Communist both in its structure and in its foreign alignments. Mr. Silver, who has recently visited Guinea, believes that this view ignores important features in the nature of African Nationalism. He examines the political ideas and the policy of Monsieur Toure since Guinea opted out of the Communau in 1958.
