Book Synopsis
This collection of short essays attempts to depict life, thought and actions indigenous to Black Africa and what has been happening there especially as a result of the White Man''s penetration into the Black Man''s life and institutions. This penetration was gradual at first, as in colonial times, but since the end of the Second World War it has become massive. Each essay looks at an African concept, attitude or person, or a combination of these, and hopes to stimulate further reading and reflection on the reader''s part. The author believes that lack of real knowledge about Africans, their beliefs, values, traditions as well as their general outlook on life, is a constant source of unnecessary mistrust, friction and recurrently enervating misunderstandings. These essays make an attempt to look into the minds and attitudes of Africans contending with difficulties not of African origin in our contemporary world.
