Ali Mazrui, Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan, begins his series of six lectures.
'I have used a metaphor from the medical field for two reasons. One is diagnostic. To some extent, this series is about Africa's aches and pains. I also chose this title because it echoes the phrase "the human condition". I want to examine the state of Africa partly as a way of measuring the state of the world.'
Professor Mazrui suggests that although Africa was probably the first home of mankind, the continent is the last to be made habitable. He considers the reasons for this paradox and argues that Africa will become habitable only when it is free from external control and has learned to define its own goals and to curb its own political excesses.
