Author: Margaret PeilPublisher: East African Publishers
ISBN: 9789966467478
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Two very distinguished sociologists here undertake an extensive and comparative examination of African societies from a sociological perspective, addressing the various aspects and agents of transformation. The study is against the background of the transformation of African societies triggered by such factors as dysfunctions within values, beliefs and norms, general economic and political factors, and adjustments due to external forces, particularly new culture and technologies. The issues are examined from the perspective that democratisation, modernisation and globalisation are forces influencing African societies, whilst traditional values and cultures produce a conflict of interest. The chapters cover social organisation, interaction, differentiation, families, education, religion, economic activities, cities, social problems and social change.

The Cultural Crisis of Sub-Saharan Africa as Depicted in the African Writers' Series
Author: Michael Perry Kweku OkyerefoPublisher: Peter Lang Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Africa has variously been described as the «lost Continent», a «Continent at risk», not least because of the ethnic or civil wars plaguing this continent and their concomitant genocide. Indeed, Africa has been plunged into a political and socio-economic quagmire. This state of «cultural crisis» is what this work makes its theme. Crisis as a sociological phenomenon, which in the case of the African situation - in contrast to the conventional European appraisal - is apparently far from being a transitional period, a period of «decision». This sociological analysis of «historical», African literary works is aimed at creating that self-awareness which is imperative as a curb on African identity crisis, to warrant the impetus for human development on this continent.
African Sociology

ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 648
Book Description
The sociological and political writings of Bernard Makhosezwe Magubane on African political history, political economy and political philosophy constitute a vital portion of a monumental legacy to later generations by an African intellectual who came to maturity through an historical consciousness that emerged during the 1960s. This was a period characterized by the radical contentious philosophies of history: African marxism, African nationalism and the reactionary ideologies aligned with imperialism and colonialism.The essays of Bernard Makhosezwe Magubane stand at a fascinating intersection with the intellectual systems of Frantz Fanon, H.I.E. Dhlomo, Ngugi wa Thiong'o and Amilcar Cabral. They are first and foremost what Cabral and Fanon were clamoring for: an instrumentarium of the construction of a progressive African ideology or African ideologies. What enabled them to realize this remarkable breakthrough is that they are a continuation of the revolutionary thought of Fanon and Cabral. Magubane was among the first African academic scholars to have seen the historical significance of Fanon and Cabral, respectively in the mid 1960s and in the early 1970s.Written in exile during the exile period in South African intellectual and cultural history these essays until recently were not easily historically locatable within the genealogical structure of South African intellectual traditions. Undoubtedly, this had been due to the 'political philosophy' of apartheid and its ideological manifestations.
