26. Cultural differences between North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa?

Two Africa’s? • In the post-colonial era, many international

organizations, foreign governments and textbooks divided Africa into two major regions: North Africa (“Arab Africa”) and Sub-Saharan Africa (“Black Africa”).

• The reasons for this division of Africa into two

regions were political and cultural. Many outsiders perceived Sub-Saharan Africa as being socially and culturally very different from North Africa.

• According to this classification, Sub-Saharan

Africa is comprised of traditional African cultures and societies and by the “black race.” North Africa, on the other hand, it was argued, is dominated by the Arab culture, language, and “non-black” peoples, who “racially,” culturally and socially are not African, having their roots in western Asia (Middle East).
