Visiting scholar says hope faded
By Mandy Baucum
frrwald Reporter
When Ibitola Pearce, senior It* lurer at Obafrml
Awolowa University in Nigeria, attended college
during the 1VH>Os. leader* like Malcolm X and
Martin Luther King Jr offered hope for improve
ment among black communities
Now. after spending 12 yours In Afric a and re
turning to the University as a visiting scholar,
Pearce said she believes that hope may lx? a thing
of the past.
During her time in the United States. Pearce
said many people have told her U S race rela
tions aren't moving as progressive!v as they had
in the past
"The black community was moving forward."
Pearce said "I've tieen told by many bine ks that
that is something of the past On the surface it's
very calm but one has the feeling it's not very
calm."
Pearce said she has more knowledge and con
cern of the events taking place in her African
homeland

in PIHfi, Pearce said SAP was supposed to help
African countries get out of c rises and improve
their economic situation Thirty six of the '12
c ountries in Afric a must follow c odes of SAP
In the early lMOOs. people began assessing the
suc c ess ol the program
"The genera! consensus is that if h.is been dev
astating." Peart e said "No country has bounced
back."
Over the years. SAP has devalued currency, de
manded crops lx’ exported and spent less money
on welfare, education and health. Pearce said
In 19«5. one naira, tho monetary unit of Ni
geria, was equal to 1.12 American dollars This
year, the monetary power of the naira has de
creased to 23 naira to $1 American Pearce Mid in
Zambia, where SAP exists, the monetary ratio Is
300 kwacha to S1 American.
Peart* said the people under the control of SAP
work harder, but they remain at an economic
standstill.
Pearce said her country has had a difficult time
recuperating from the devastating effects of first
the slave trade, then colonialism and then SAP
"There has boon a lot of external (pressure on
Africa," Pearce said. ' Before you get ready to
stand up, something blows you back down
again."
There hasn't been much internal help from Af
rica's ''poor leadership," Pearce said.
"livery new hand of leaders blames the former
leaders," she said
Pearce graduated from Mills (.ollege in Oak
land, California, and earned her master's and doc
torate degrees from Brown University Pearce's
stay at the University will last only until the end
of fall term Prom Eugene she will travel to North
western University in Evanston, HI
