"Head's knowledge of the structure of television worldwide is monumental, as is his ability to organize it into books. In Broadcasting in Africa 35 authors, including Head himself, have contributed essays which give a comprehensive picture of African broadcasting country by country, and the role whi

ch non-Africans play in shaping it. Information given for each African nation includes population, receivers per thousand, radio transmitter sites, area per site. Otherwise information varies a bit, with longer discussions for larger countries. The authors discuss the system against the background of such factors as geography, politics, and language, and include broadcasting history and, when available, audience data. The second half of the book is concemed with the ways in which other nations are influencing African broadcasting. Here are discussions of international broadcasting agencies and programs, religious broadcasting, foreign aid, training, research, educational uses to which broadcasting is put, and the commerce of broadcasting. Head concludes with an agenda for further study. Appendixes give technical problems of spectrum utilization, the uses of broadcasting in African political crises, historical and demographic data, a summary of system facilities, and languages used in broadcasting. There is a lengthy bibliography and a comprehensive index." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 650)

ion. Numbers of students in secondary schools and higher educational institutions have increased. But school attendance in primary schools is still low compared with enrolment, and there is the continuing fearful waste of intellectual energy in millions of illiterates. Nevertheless, the balance is on the credit side; and this needs to be widely known, not least in Africa itself. In the following chapters the author gives accounts of projects and programmes in different fields of education being carried out in nine countries which he visited in 1965. These pictures of action are illustrative of what is happening throughout Africa. The booklet, as a whole, can be seen as a sequel to the author’s previous booklet, Africa Calls, which was written following a visit to Africa at the time of the Addis Ababa Conference, to give a wide public a general idea of the problems of educational development in Africa, of how the countries of Africa proposed to face them, and of the ways in which the international community under the leadership of Unesco could help the African countries."
