African Culture
Africa, according to the contributors to this anthology, is one cultural river with numerous tributaries articulated by their specific responses to history and the environment. They concentrate on the similarities in behavior, perceptions, and technologies of African culture that tie those tributaries together. The fourteen original essays by leading scholars of African studies are organized in four general divisions which consider the ethno-cultural motif, the artistic tradition, concepts of cultural value, and cultural continua.
African Identities
Kanneh locates Black identity in relation to Africa and discovers how histories connected with the domination, imagination, and interpretation of Africa are constructive of a range of political and theoretic parameters around race.
The African Difference
This work challenges ideas about African culture held by many Western and African thinkers, and confronts the West's assumptions of its philosophical superiority. The author argues that Africa needs to imagine itself in its own terms, rather than in those borrowed from the West.
