PROF. ALI MAZRUI-SECULAR ACTIVISM , RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCE & THE STRATEGY OF PRETORIA- AN APRAISAL BY PRINCE FRANK ONAIVI UKONGA
http://www.nationalpeoplesnews.blogspot.com
I
agree with the Erudite Prof Ali Mazrui about the obfuscating ,seething
nature of the triple cultural pluralism that had become the history of
the African personality namely African, Islam and Western culture and
"this TRIPLE HERITAGE OF THE AFRICAN PERSONALITY & IT VIRTUES IN THE
ATTAINMENT OF IMMORTALITY COULD BE A PARADOXICAL BLESSINGS TO A RIGHTLY
GUIDED SOUL" W.E.B DUBOIS CALLED THIS- DOUBLE PERSONALITY FOR THE
AFRICANS IN DIASPORA...-But avoiding this global cultural meander, and
allowing the flowering of the African superlative ideals could have been
one of the greatest blessings of the contributions of the African
culture into the global cultural pluralism of contemporary times. I also
agree with you on the question of the STRATEGY OF PRETORIA [ SOUTH
AFRICA] in avoiding the assimilation of other BLACK intelligentsia in to
the African communities of South Africa and perpetually alienating the
Africans of South Africa from the wholistic mainstream development of
intellectualism of the continent and the Black race in generality... It
may adduce for immediate political gains for the State but would be a
regrettable commission in a portable distance of history...I also agree
with you on the role of the Black/ African intellectuals on the
questions of Revolution and change in the African political economy as a
progressive avangardt in the entropy addressed to the attainment of
rational eudimonia .... I am grateful that you have counted me worthy
to be assimilated into the mainstream of the global black intelligentsia
class , of which you represent , one of the most profound and finest
crop that Africa posits as our own contribution to the global cache..and
may the gods continually found you worthy in all what you do to from
eternity to eternity....thanks..best wishes..
