Opis

Culture is a vexed issue in anthropological discourse, most importantly among African studies scholars. Hence, there is no agreement on what should constitute or be referred to as 'African Culture'. In this work, the author continues the debate on the definition, nature and role of 'Culture' in the quest for techno-scientific development in Africa. He argues, persuasively, the implication of cultural renewal for human development and how this could rub off positively on technological development in Africa.
