The author spent fifteen months visiting the countries of sub-Saharan Africa as well as the European capitals responsible for their administration. "The purpose of this report is to set forth ther problems which have arisen out of the impact of primitive peoples with an industrial civilization, and to show how and to what extent these problems are being solved by the governments concerned." Despite the slightly unfortunate title this remains probably the foremost and most important survey of the continent in the inter war period.
