Описание книги

The African Genius presents the ideas, social systems, religions, moral values, arts, and metaphysics of a range of African peoples. Basil Davidson points toward the Africa that might emerge from an ancient civilization that was overlaid and battered by colonialism, then torn apart by the upheaval of colonialism’s dismantlement. Davidson disputes the notion that Africa gained under colonialism by entering the modern world. He sees, instead, an ancient order replaced by modern dysfunction. Davidson’s depiction of the sophisticated “native genius” that has carried Africans through centuries of change is vital to an understanding of modern Africa as well.

Отрывок из книги

The presentation by the Orator Dr M. C. Horton to the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Bristol of Basil Davidson for the degree of Doctor of Letters 1999

WE HAVE THIS AFTERNOON a very unusual event. I am presenting to you a candidate who, only two years ago, received an Honorary Degree in this very same building, not I dare to say, from our University, but from another, from the University of the Western Cape, in South Africa, whose Vice-Chancellor came specially to our city to honour a local resident and Bristolian, and you most graciously consented to allow the ceremony to take place within these walls.
