Assignment 3
Unique Number: 174079
DUE 22 July 2024
Question 1 (25)
Read the given extract titled, “Colonialism, coloniality and post-colonial Africa: a conceptual
framework”, from chapter 7 of the prescribed book (Seroto, Davids & Wolhuter 2020), and then
answer the questions that follow. Colonialism, coloniality and post-colonial Africa: a conceptual
framework Post-colonial reconstruction of African societies cannot be limited to political and
economic transformation. Due to the predominance of Western epistemologies and systems of
education during and after colonialism, the African masses often became oblivious to their forgotten
history.
Western European colonial policies such as ‘assimilation’ (French) and ‘assimilados’ (Portuguese)
were based on a rejection of the local culture and an adoption of a foreign, European culture –
essentially a denial of an African identity. The African elite that worked in close collaboration with
the colonial administration often became the main protagonists of European culture. When a few
African leaders met in Addis Ababa in 1963 to establish the Organisation of African Unity (OAU),
the objective was to liberate the continent from colonialism and apartheid. While apartheid was
abolished in 1994, African countries remained largely dependent on foreign aid which compromised
their political and economic independence.
Without achieving its objectives, the OAU was dissolved in July 2002 and transformed into the
African Union (AU), which aimed to unite its fifty-three member-states politically, socially and
economically. The AU intended to address the old African problems afresh through the promotion
of democracy, good governance and foreign investment (Carbone, 2002).
