United States of Latin Africa
The United States of Latin Africa (French: ''Les États-Unis de l'Afrique Latine'', Portuguese: ''Estados Unidos da África Latina'', Spanish: ''Estados Unidos de África Latina'') was the proposed union of Romance-language-speaking Central African countries envisioned by Barthélémy Boganda. Boganda first called for it in May 1957.〔Gérard Prunier, ''Africa's World War'', Oxford University Press, 2009, ISBN 978-0-19-537420-9, pp. 102-103〕
The countries to be part of this large federal entity were Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, the Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, Chad, French-speaking parts of Cameroon, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea. The idea's implementation was cut short by Boganda's death in a plane crash on March 29, 1959.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Death of a Strongman )〕 Boganda viewed this entity to be a counterweight to the powerful British-influenced southern bloc of South Africa and the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland.〔
The idea of the United States of Latin Africa was criticised by Richard Wright in a special introduction to French readers of a translation of his book ''White Man, Listen!'', on the basis that Latin Africa meant Catholic Africa, and that it would create a religious division against secular, English-speaking Africa, which he called Protestant Africa. According to Wright, these ideas reflected only the attitudes of those Africans educated in France or Britain, the dominant European powers of that time. He called instead for a Pan-African approach.〔R. Wright, « To French Readers », Mississippi Quarterly, 42, 4, 1989 (Automne) 〕
