CULTURE, IDENTITY AND HUMAN VALUES IN AFRICA
CULTURE, IDENTITY AND HUMAN VALUES IN AFRICA

Summary/Abstract: Without glorifying any cultural standpoint I argue that the best model that accounts for the interests and aspirations of Africa cannot be that which promotes and emphasiz-es traditional ideas since such a model would be unnecessarily insular and prevent us from engaging the aspects of our cultures which are needed in coping with Africa’s challenges. I contend that this does not amount to an imposition of any form of metanar-rative but rather to critically engage those forces that are detrimental to survival and social stability.
