Le Drame psychologique de la jeune génération noire

The second book turns from the continent to its generation. Young Africans are told, with some sincerity, that they have every opportunity — and are then measured against images they cannot reach, sold certainty by people who have none, and educated for institutions that do not open.

It reads the resulting damage where it actually occurs: in expectation, in self-regard, in the private conviction that the failure is personal rather than structural.
