The African Condition 3: A Clash of Cultures
' We are beginning to be converted to the proposition that droughts are not caused by a surplus of twin babies born in a particular year.'
All Mazrul, Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan, examines the impact of Western scientific and cultural values on Africa. Africans are caught up between rebellion against the West and imitation of the West. PROFESSOR MAZ-RUI argues that the western world will have to accept a measure of cultural humility, and a willingness to be Influenced by others if a more balanced international cultural order is to be created.
