African Intellectuals and Decolonization

Nicholas M. Creary is an assistant professor of African history at Ohio University. He is the author of "Domesticating a Religious Import: The Jesuits and the Inculturation of the Catholic Church in Zimbabwe, 1879-1980. " Klappentext The incompleteness of the decolonization struggle is evident in the fact that Africa today remains widely associated with chaos! illness! and disorder. This misconception is a latter-day invocation of the idea of "the white man's burden!" which was central in providing justifica-tion for the violence of Europe's military conquest and colonial occupation of Africa. The essays in African Intellectuals and Decolonization address the enduring intellectual legacies of European colonialism in Africa. Zusammenfassung Decades after independence for most African states, the struggle for decolonization is still incomplete, as demonstrated by the fact that Africa remains associated in many Western minds with chaos, illness, and disorder.
