CONGO,
by
Ruth
Slade.
Oxford
University
Press,
1960;
pp.
55;
5s.
Leading up to the crowded
and
disturbed events of
the
years 1958-1959,
the
author
deals with such questions as paternalism
and
its limitations,
the
political isolation of
the
Congo

the influence of post-war developments in the rest of Africa, racial dis-
crimination,
the
difficult position of the Evolues
and
equal
pay
for equal work.
The
disturbances of
January
1960
and
the Government promise of independence for the
Congo described in
the
last
chapter
have subsequently been overtaken by
the
speed
of
events leading to independence.
