Yes, Thanks Ellis, David Apter, a charming fellow who died a couple of years ago, I discover. Perhaps I was being a bit harsh when I said "absurdly"
sympathetic to the chuukaku and their rivals whose name I've forgotten, but Dave never got over the boyish enthusiasm for changing the world that he caught at Berkeley when he was teaching there in the late 60s. He wrote a great book on Ghana,though. Incidentally, I've been puzzling over the "gerabo" in my note, the sticks that the students used on the police. And realised that it should be gebabo -- from the German gebalt.
But didn't Ellis write a book about those times?
