Famous quotes containing the word threat:
“Where do whites fit in the New Africa? Nowhere, I’m inclined to say ... and I do believe that it is true that even the gentlest and most westernised Africans would like the emotional idea of the continent entirely without the complication of the presence of the white man for a generation or two. But nowhere, as an answer for us whites, is in the same category as remarks like What’s the use of living? in the face of the threat of atomic radiation. We are living; we are in Africa.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“A State in the grip of neo-colonialism is not master of its own destiny. It is this factor which makes neo- colonialism such a serious threat to world peace.”
—Kwame Nkrumah (1900–1972)
