Abstract:Attention is drawn to: 1) the language barrier imposed in African studies by the different administrative languages-English, French, Portuguese -in use in Africa, 2) the economists' attitudes toward economic studies in Africa, 5) the position of the social and economic research institutes in Africa, and more particularly their relationship with universities in the UK, 4) the organisation of African studies in the UK, in the light of the suggestion made in the paper that African studies would become mere widespread in British universities, 5) the possibilities of, and need for, interdisciplinary research work, in particular joint projects by economists and sociologists, 6) the organisation of library material on Africa.
