Daisaku Ikeda and Africa: Reflections by Kenyan Writers - In 1960, while witnessing the admission of the newly independent African countries into the United Nations, Dr. Daisaku Ikeda prophesied that the twenty-first century would be the century of Africa.

Exploratory and tentative, these reflections are an attempt to understand one of the world’s most profound thinkers. |
