BLACK PEOPLE REJECT THEIR OWN CULTURE WHILE OTHERS EMBRACE AND EXPLOIT IT!


African history has certainly been marginalized and undervalued in mainstream narratives of world history. There are several reasons for this:

  1. Colonialism: European colonialism in Africa led to the erasure of many pre-colonial African cultures and histories. European powers often sought to justify their colonization and exploitation of African people by portraying them as “uncivilized” and in need of European intervention. This narrative continued to be perpetuated in the post-colonial era.
  2. Eurocentrism: The study of history, particularly in the West, has been dominated by a Eurocentric perspective that prioritizes the history of Europe and its influence on the rest of the world. This has led to the marginalization of the histories and contributions of other regions, including Africa.
  3. Lack of resources: African countries often lack the resources and infrastructure to adequately preserve and share their own histories. This has made it difficult for African voices to be heard and for African history to be studied and taught in a comprehensive way.
  4. Academic bias: The study of African history has also been influenced by academic biases and assumptions about the superiority of Western culture and knowledge. This has led to a lack of diversity in the perspectives and voices represented in the field of African history.

Overall, the marginalization of African history is the result of a complex web of historical and cultural factors. It is important to acknowledge and challenge these biases in order to fully appreciate the richness and diversity of African history and its contributions to the world.
