CULTUREThe music, art, literature, and

cultural practices of Africa have

provoked interest and respect

throughout the world. The old

belief that Africa is somehow

childlike in its cultural

development has been

denounced as people become

more familiar with the rich

traditions of the continent.

The material and inherent value

of African art steadily increases

in the world market. The music

and literature of these peoples

have found their way into

houses and classrooms around

the globe. We are beginning to

learn through the works of

scholars, film makers, and

writers that Africans can teach

us much more than we can

show them.
