	Library System - Howard University
		As part of the history and culture of the peoples, African and Caribbean literature in French reflects the traumatic history of imperialism (colonial and neo-colonial) and its political, economic, and cultural manifestations.
		But there is also a political engagement that is discernible in the works of the new generation of writers, witnesses to an era torn between the vast hopes aroused by independence and the disillusioning experiences of early statehood--dictatorship, repressions, imprisonments, tortures, executions.
		The Guide is intended primarily for the beginning researcher in graduate and upper-undergraduate levels at Howard University, but it will also be informative and useful to the experienced researcher elsewhere in areas that he has not had occasion to explore.

		There are a number of races in which I couldn't determine where Clark was running when he retired, such as the 1967 South African race, where he qualified 8th and finished 22nd after an engine failure on lap 22.
		He might also have finished on the podium an incredible 72% of his entries, an astonishing rate that is only made believable by the notion that as it was, he pretty much finished on the podium or didn't finish at all.
		The two races off the podium were the 1962 German Grand Prix, where he failed to engage the fuel pumps on the grid, and the 1964 Italian Grand Prix, where he suffered an engine failure while running in P4 after 27 laps.

		Rob joked that his childhood was much like the BBC television series Upstairs, Downstairs, as he grew up in a house with 100 rooms that sat on 270 acres of land, with several staff cottages, two grass tennis courts, a squash court and beautiful gardens and quite a large staff.
		Rob's reply was priceless: "Oh, Dennis, I was once bit by a lion!" And he was, while at the South African Grand Prix one year, when someone introduced Rob to a lion cub, which he immediately began to play with and suffered a good nip on the arm.
