I had originally planned to focus on some of the more important aspects of race and ethnicity in Africa south of the Sahara, with particular reference to tensions and conflicts operative within the emergent social and political systems. I soon the realized, however, that the subject was far too complex for brief presentation, at least the kind of brevity ritualistically mandatory on this ceremonial occasion. I decided, consequently, to concentrate on one aspect of the complex cited, namely, the problems and prospects of the white man, particularly as settler, in the revolutionary Africa of today. Obviously, this grand theme, given all the imponderables involved, can only be touched upon lightly and is not easily susceptible to “scientific” treatment. I shall do my best, however, in handling this value-laden problem to observe the procedures and the folkways of objective analysis.
