Social science in Africa

Description:

The aim of this paper is to examine the delicate relationship of social science in Africa to the political, social and administrative context. It is argued, in contradiction to the defeatist views of, for example, Mehryar (1984), that social scientists do both their profession and their societies a disservice if they surrender the study of social problems to politicians and administrators.
