A United States of Africa

Abstract
There is one sense in which African unity already exists. There is a sentiment of 'African-ness', a feeling of mutual involvement, which pervades all the political and cultural life of the continent. Nationalist leaders all over Africa feel themselves to be part of a greater movement; they recognise a special responsibility to the political unit in which they happen to belong, but feel personally involved in the triumphs and set-backs of all other African countries. There is, in other words, an emotional unity which finds expression in, among other things, concepts such as the 'African personality', and in a tendency to consult together at international conferences.
