A documentary programme presented by Hella Pick
' The African personality ' is one of the most formative and potent ideas of the African renascence, used above all in West Africa to express the belief in ultimate African independence and unity.
This programme presents the ideas of African leaders, specially recorded in many countries from Senegal to Nigeria; and examines the conflicts that may threaten the vision of unity.

HENRY REED writes: These recollections, elicited with some difficulty from General Gland, are not to be regarded as a continuation of the Shewin-Tablet saga, which ended with The Primal Scene, as it were..... They are to be considered merely as a parergon, if that.'
