Africa's Agenda: The Legacy of Liberalism and Colonialism in the Crisis of African Values: Contributions in Afro-American and African Studies: Contemporary Black Poets

Autor Harvey J. Sindima
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 oct 1995
Liberal philosophy came to Africa through colonialism: it was taught in schools, preached and supported by the churches, and maintained and encouraged by an economic system characterized by competition and maximizing profit-capitalism. Thirty years after independence, liberal philosophy continues to erode traditional values in Africa. To redirect Africans to symbols of common life and respect for persons, nationalist leaders have tried other philosophies: negritude, African socialism, and humanism. This book shows the limitations of these philosophies, and the failure of African philosophy and theology to offer a paradigm for social change. The author proposes a new paradigm for transformation, one rooted in traditional thought, found in the concepts of moyo (life) and umunthu (personhood).
