Produktbeschreibung

"This newly published book, "AFRICAN CULTURE IS NOT TO BLAME (Western Culture Is To Blame) written by Dr. P.E. Aligwekwe has a very important message both for the West and for Africa; but most particularly for the West. The book is a very audacious speaking out of a biting truth avoided or minimized by the guilty, sidetracked by the nonchalant, purposely misrepresented by the addict, or distorted by the agnostic and arrogant. The book¿s realism is an asset to knowing for certain where the source of our contemporary sexual moral decadence and the very much needed solution really lie. Learn in it something about the main causes and bases of priest/clergy sexual abuse that is nowadays the general topic of the day. Learn more about the origin and main causes of homosexuality in humans, and also about prostitution, abortion and other the main social topics of our day. Surely you will want to read this exiting book, and pass it on to whomever you care for - family, friend or colleague. Besides, you will bring its substance to the knowledge of as many members of the society as possible.
The author's previous book titled "THE CONTINUITY OF TRADITIONAL VALUES IN THE AFRICAN SOCIETY (The Igbo of Nigeria)- a book rightly qualified as a valuable tertiary institution anthropology text or reference book, published 2008, is equally available in the bookstore of the same publishers".

Autorenporträt

Her previous publication, The Continuity of Traditional Values in the African Society, confirmed Pauline Aligwekwe's thoroughness and down-to-earth approach to reality. This present book pins down readers and researchers to view Africa in its reality and not as has been exploitatively imagined, fabricated and taught. Aligwekwe refutes the viewpoint of Maura O'Donohue (expatriate physician and missionary at a corner of Black Africa) who rightly stated the scandal of clergy sexual abuse as a global problem affecting many countries; but then committed the anthropological and historical blunder to single out and refer to the African situation as "culture bound". A Missionary of many years experience Aligwekwe denounces ethnocentrism and self-conceited colonial/neo-colonial mentality- the root of O'Donohue's oversight and rashness. Over simplification and ethnocentrism in global world issues, do not make the world a better place. Transparency and objectivity are paramount regarding the true cause of the contemporary alarming sexual moral decadence. Advance in science and technology should not mean advancement in evil, and insensitivity to guilt. Retracing of steps towards genuine Christian sexual morals is essential. Dr Aligwekwe is author of three preceding books and many journal articles. After B.A. English, French and Philosophy (Ethics), National University of Ireland, and B.A. Comparative Literature, University of Dijon, France, she studied and got her doctorate degree, Social Anthropology and Ethnolinguistics at Sorbonne, University of Paris, France. She is a well known university professor of Anthropology in Nigeria and is presently residing a while in the USA, preoccupied with intensive interdisciplinary research work.
