Annual Meeting of the (American) African Studies Association

Africa Report, New York

Extract

The two most striking features of the 13th annual meeting of the African Studies Association were what did and what did not happen. Unlike the 1969 meeting at Montreal there was no disruption of academic discussion or general meetings, and no threat of violence, racial or otherwise – see Africa Report, December 1969. What was evident at Boston was a thoughtful and constructive effort to find through discussion a common meeting ground.
