From around the late 50s with Sidney Poitier and Rock Hudson base don Richard Ruark's novel of the same name which I also read.
The story is around the Mau Mau uprising and the friendship between the characters of Poitier and Hudson.
While it might be nice to dally in ability of central and south Africans to govern themselves, the reality lies in the results which show the Africans to be failures (too many to list). Likely based on their abiding tribal mentality. IMO, central/sount Africa remains a hopeless pit if left to themselves.

Native Americans are similarly "savage?"
Fact is (do yourself a favor and study a bit of anthropology and then some African history), Africans did just fine until the Western nations started pillaging. Sure, there were problems going back to the Middle Ages due to N. Africans exploiting for slaves but not the massive interventions and destructions due to the West.
Oh, sorry, I've pointed the finger at Europeans and Americans, haven't I?

  I take that you're a product of PC'd education. At 50, I wasn't exposed to that dumbing-down educational experiment. Central/south Africans were not too far from cavemen. Technology was non-existent, tribal warfare and slavery was common- and still is! Most never developed a written language. Never mind their honored rituals of female circumcision.
  Native Americans were not too much farther along. Tribal warfare, slavery, etc. etc.

    and Bantu would be good starting points. Cavemen? Not.
    And, even better and closer, you may wish to study up on Native American culture.
    Tribal warfare? Slavery?
    I guess you don't know how many of our citizens are in jail at the moment: 2 million.
    We're also engaged in... how many wars has the US been in during the past 50 years?
    I won't bother to go into all the other wonderful benefits "civilization" has brought to us, compared to the "cavemen."
