Genuine Intellectuals. Academic and Social Responsibilities of Universities in Africa

Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous student revolts of the late 1960s, the author reflects on his experiences and observations during a period of significant social upheaval. While students in France and America fiercely challenged authority, England remained relatively quiet, with only minor unrest at the London School of Economics. The book captures the contrasting responses to societal change and the author's personal journey over five years of writing, providing insights into the broader cultural and political climate of the time.
