Historical view of Africa
Historical view
Continent of Africa is divided into a great
number of ethnic cultures. The African continent's cultural regeneration
has also been an integral aspect of the nation-building post-independence on
the continent, with a recognition of the need to harness the African cultures,
traditions, activities within the African enrich the education processes,
requiring the creation of an enabling environment and how the Culture changes
in a number of ways within the Continent.
Now a days, in the advanced era and
with the changing of technology the call
for a much greater emphasis on the cultural dimension in all aspects and angles
of development has become increasingly vocal. While in the
time of Roman colonization of North Africa, (parts of Algeria, Egypt, Libya, and
the whole of Tunisia) And the provinces such as Tripolitania was only the major
producer of food for the empire and the republic, and this province produced
too much food for the Republic and also generated too much wealth in these
regions for their four hundredth years of occupation. During the times of
colonialism in Africa, Europeans possessed ego, biasnes and attitudes of
superiority well development and a sense of mission and to get goals. The
Africans were able to accepted by the French, as French the person form the
other cultures from all over the world specially from the African culture left
his/her Cultures and if that person gave up their Culture of Africa and to
adopted the Culture, traditions of the French ways and acts as the French
people’s do while living within the French. To know about the Portuguese
languages and Knowledge of the different ways, cultures, traditions and
abandonment of traditional African ways is known as one of the civilized Nation
in the world. Social commentator Mwiti Mugambi of the Kenyan argues that
the future of Africa can only be forged and will be not real and valuable corresponding
to be deemed as the good and will be forged from mending and accepting the
sociocultural present. For Mugambi, colonial cultural hangovers, pervasive
Western cultural inundation, and will adopt the Western cultures and arm-twisting,
aidd-giving donors are, he argues, here to stay and no amount of looking into
Africa's past will make them go away. However, Maulana karenga states
upon the issue as under:
We must honor, Respect
in both and practice as our culture provides us with an ethos. Briefly to
explain here by Ethos, we mean the people of the community having good
reputation and people's self-presentation as well as its self-understanding in
all over the world and to present them in the world through its thoughts and
through its better practices in the other six areas of culture. It is above all
a cultural challenge. For culture is here meaning of the culture is defined as
the totality of practices and thoughts by which a people of the community
creates itself, sustains ,develops and celebrates, itself and well introduces
itself and to their culture to history and humanity in the world.
