Abstract: | The concepts used to analyse the origins of cultural nationalism in Europe - nation, bourgeoisie, language - are problematic when applied to Africa. All three contain particular difficulties for the cultural emancipation of African societies in an interdependent world, influenced by western civilisation. As illustrations of three different approaches to cultural emancipation in Africa were selected Tanzania, Senegal and South Africa. These nations reveal varying stages and possibilities for the cultural emancipation of Africa. Sections: The ambiguities of Négritude - Black consciousness in South Africa - Ujamas and cultural emancipation in Tanzania. Ref. |
