Separatism is perhaps a demand for the creation of an Africa of the mind more than a bid for a geographical republic. If literally fulfilled, black nationalism might be disastrous.

His first nationwide success was a three-act tragi-comedy that examined the making of a hero, coming to the conclusion that the hero is only a creation of the "big boss," who used him to keep the workers distracted while the boss exploited them.
