Notes A new Academy in Africa founded by Harris M-F: ASCAD
----------------------------------
"Post-colonial Africa has produced many universities and research centres, but only a few academies: out of 52 countries, only 10 have any". This is how the Ivorian anthropologist, Harris Memel-Fotê, recently described the African scientific and cultural situation when he put forward a proposal to set up an "Academy of Sciences, Cultures and Arts of Africa and of the African Diasporas" (ASCAD), in his own country of Cote d'Ivoire, promoted and supported by the Ivorian government.
