A collection of Clarke's speeches and essays pressing his lifelong theme: African people must research, write, and control their own history. The title piece challenges African and diaspora leadership over the betrayals and failures of the liberation movements. (Note: the source catalog misspells the author's name "Clark"; the correct spelling is Clarke.)
