After the difficult period of African independence achieved from the 1960s onwards, and today emptied of all meaning on a political, economic, cultural, scientific, technological and geostrategic scale, the time has come for our continent to think about, build and organize a new independence. This task falls to the rising generations, who will have to devise new strategies for liberation and open up new avenues for building a united, free and prosperous Africa, with faith in its creative capacities and aware of all the possibilities open to it to become a great civilization open to the world and capable of enriching global society as a whole with its genius. This book sets out the foundations, conditions and prospects for this new independence, based on current ideas and debates in African circles of thought and intelligence.
