In this engaging study of African diplomacy, Nigerian scholar
Nwankwo Nwaeziegwe revisits the issue of cooperation between Arab
nationalist governments and the nations of Sub-Saharan Africa. The
book clinically explores the proper bases, character, and
implications of Arab-Sub-Saharan relations through the lens of Arab
nationalist diplomatic initiative and collective Black African
development initiatives. It presents the Sub-Saharan African with
the option of either continuing to regard the Arabs as a people
with a common aspiration or putting them in the same neo-colonial
basket as he has tended to put Europeans. The book's main objective
is to arrive at a proper understanding of the basis of Arab
interest in Sub-Saharan Africa from the Egyptian Revolution of
1952, which brought the first Arab nationalist to power, and 1993,
the year of the epoch-making Declaration of Principles (DOP)
between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
Most importantly, the book examines the other face of the African
predicament, which previous scholars of modern Africa have
neglected. Ironically, the Arabs may have participated in
undermining Sub-Saharan Africa's development by promoting the
institution of slavery, which was just as ruthless as the European
experience of that phenomenon, if not worse. Nevertheless, due to
Europe's overwhelming dominance in the colonial era, the Arab role
has often been downplayed against that of Europeans.
