Abstract: New technologies have made it possible to produce soybean flours, concentrates, and isolates with diverse functional properties that fill many needs in food systems. Results, reported from nutritional experiments where soy proteins, particularly the isolates, were fed to infants, growing children, and young adults, demonstrate that the soybean is a nutritionally adequate protein. Better methods of protein evaluation for humans are suggested. Types of soybean protein products available are defined based on their protein content and general methods of preparation. Meetings have proveded better understanding and agreement among nations on the philosophies of regulatory practices toensure full information for the consumer and the food industry. The concept of functionality must be broadened to include the nutritional and physiological function of the proteins and the final food product. Research programs on the proper place of plant protein in the human diet are discussed.

Originally published in 1982, this book explores concepts such as ‘traditional performance’ and African theatre’. It analyses the links between drama and ritual, and drama and music and diagnoses the confusions in our thought. The reader is reminded that drama is never merely the printed word, but that its existence as literature and in performance is necessarily different. The analysis shows that literature tends to replace performance; and drama, removed from the popular domain, becomes elitist. The book’s richness lies in the constantly stimulating analysis of ‘art’ theatre, as exemplified in protest plays, in African adaptations and transpositions of such classical subjects as the Bacchae and Everyman, in plays on African history, on colonialism and neo-colonialism. The final chapters argue that the form of African drama needs to evolve as the content does.
