Summary
The Conclusion returns to the idea of Katanga, Rhodesia, Transkei, and Bophuthatswana pursuing a common ideological project. It will further explore the relationship between individual aspirant states and the international state system to draw conclusions about the nature of African self-determination and statehood. Finally, this book will end by looking at the afterlives of these four, how they are remembered, their ghost-like existence in cyberspace, and discuss the complicated legacies left by Katanga, Rhodesia, Transkei, and Bophuthatswana.
