Quavez you present the image of Africas? A continent where there is poverty, famine, corruption, wars, diseases can admit it is in some cases. Lafrique is a vast continent and the political, economic and social situation of fifty-four countries that make up the different doubled. So we have a preconceived image of Africas. The received wisdom conveyed by television news, press, magazines and the internet not narrangent things. Indeed, Africas is considered an isolated continent, backward without intellectual production and especially without history. Quen is it really? Paradoxically, many foreign multinationals operating in Africa. In the era of globalization, Africas nest more than ever solicited and exploited. The American, French and Chinese mass invest eg in Africa. Who benefits from these investments? At the local population? Surely not. These investments benefit the economies listed above. Laide development it is not a poisoned chalice? If we observe well, African countries are heavily indebted. This explains the failure of some African countries to ensure the expenses related to education, health, national defense, and research and development. The "helpers" are matched to the development of an obligation to repay the interest. That's why most African countries are in a vicious circle. Yet Africas has undeniable assets for development such as human resources (young population), natural resources (oil, gold, diamond), the diversity of cultures (African) and a radiant pre-colonial history. What must be done to raise awareness among black populations dAfrique to what is taking charge? Return to the past. Cheikh Anta Diop is the one who restored true story Africas. We had the habit oReview lesclavage black and colonization. But Cheikh Anta Diop has demonstrated against known relying on facts and scientific evidence that the man in black is the origin of the Egyptian civilization since lantiquité. The author explains that the story was deliberately falsified by Western scholars. Ancient LÉgypte was negro and scholars in bad faith could not conceive. Indeed, they sought to whiten "race" Egyptian. Cheikh Anta Diop shows evidence supporting the Egyptian had Negroid features. These negroes were from the Nile Valley (lÉthiopie Nubia) and they came uninstall Egypt. Cheikh Anta Diop sappuie on testimonies of scholars who visited lÉgypte ancient as Herodotus, Diodorus, Strabo These eyewitnesses claim that the Egyptians were Negroes. The world was plunged into barbarism. The most brilliant civilization will unfortunately decline because of foreign invasions: the Persians in 525 BC, the Macedonians with Alexander, the Romans Julius Caesar in -50 with the Arabs in the seventh century, the Turks in the sixteenth century, the French with Napoleon and the English in the late nineteenth century. These different peoples came draw elements of civilization in Egypt and will be built in turn. So do not pull a particular glory to the fact that the Egyptians were Negroes and inventors of civilization, medicine and astronomy. Indeed, this civilization could be lapanage dune another "race." Cheikh Anta Diop also emphasized that Africans have a common cultural background. Indeed, there have been migrations of different ethnicities inside Africas. This aspect is very important because African tend to claim to this or that ethnic group and this affects their cohesion. Moreover, the author has made comparative studies of different Negro-African languages (Wolof, Serere, Sarakolle, Dola) and légyptien. He demonstrates through his study that these languages have many similarities. Légyptien was related to African languages. This would explain that African have a common cultural base. Cheikh Anta Diop emphasizes the need to develop national languages with a view to establish an African federal state. Jai louvrage retained in a passage that seems to me very important: "We can not stress enough the fact that cultural imperialism is the economic imperialism of security screws; destroy the bases of the first so this is contributing to the suppression of the second "(p.407). Today cultural imperialism eg concerning the summit of the Francophonie, learning of French in schools in Africa African should highlight their cultural heritage. Finally, given the geopolitical context of today's world it is more than necessary Sunir to face the challenges of the 21st century (Globalism, political interference, health and security, economic imperialism, Looting of natural resources). Must draw from their African cultural base to develop economically, socially, culturally and without foreign interference. Cheikh Anta Diop has done a great job of research and reflection and BE deserves at least recognized by the black people. Thank you, teacher.
