Title: The African Way to Modernization. From wisdom for the local and the global
Author: Ndiaye B. (ed.) Year: 2008 Publisher: ISIG Pages: 110

Language: Italian

Contents:
African societies, in order to access modernization as understood in Western societies, seem to be forced to go against the pillars of their own culture, against the wisdom of their fathers and against the wisdom of the original village culture and its rhythms of life.
The authors of the essays collected here, members of an African elite who know the West very well, emphasize how wrong the view of traditional Africa observed from the Western point of view is and want to recover the deep culture of African tradition for a modernization compatible with it.
