Degree?

[edit]

Did Basil ever receive any sort of degree before he started to write on Africa, or before he started writing in general? I think it is important for this article to mention it. MattD

this article is very weak

[edit]

No images, he isnt an English historian he is an English Historian who writes on Africal, thus the problem with words African Historian who isnt African (which is normal)--HalaTruth(ሐላቃህ) 16:18, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is he still alive

[edit]

He, according to this date is 93 years old.--HalaTruth(ሐላቃህ) 20:06, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Leftist

[edit]

He is anticommunist, I really don't think he is left wing enough to worth mentioning his political views. It smacks of POVOneWorld22 06:27, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

His fierce anti-communism probably the reason, why tons of his stuff were published at the height of Stalinism in the GDR (Ulbricht-Deutschland)?--Radh (talk) 16:08, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
