However, it was many years before there began quests of a different kind the investigation of behaviour, personality, attitude and ability among Africas people. Originally published in 1975, this book is an account of that work: the first explorations in Africa of psychology.\n\nIn an exhaustive and well-documented report the author, a psychologist who had himself done research in Nigeria, Uganda and who had lectured at Makerere University, drew together the main threads of the research carried out so far, putting the issues in an African perspective but anchoring them firmly within the framework of modern psychological thinking and technique of the time.\n\n.
