A series of six broadcasts in which Africans and British administrators discuss the questions they believe to be most relevant to the understanding of Africa
4-Between Two Worlds
Speakers:
B. M. Gecaga
Eric Davies
In the Chair, R. A. Maguire for many years in the Colonial Service in Tanganyika and now Lecturer in Swahili at Oxford University
As roads and railways penetrate into Africa, the ideas and institutions of the twentieth century are brought to the tribal African who has always lived by ancient codes and customs. He is attracted to the new world of cities and industry and money, but has no means of adapting himself to it. He is between two worlds.
The speakers describe, from their own experience, an individual African's plight and show how it reflects the larger difficulties of adapting African soc.ety to the demands of the modern world and of satisfying Africa's demands for its benefits.
