Produktbeschreibung

Seminar paper from the year 2024 in the subject Art - Art Theory, General, University of Ghana, Legon, language: English, abstract: The paper titled "The Evolution of Government and Civil Society in Primitive African Cultures: A Historical Perspective" by Abdul Hamid Salifu and Bangura delves into the intricate development of governance structures and civil society in Africa prior to and during colonial influence. The authors argue that Africa's indigenous societies possessed complex and diverse systems of governance and communal organization, which were profoundly disrupted by colonial rule. This disruption led to the imposition of foreign administrative frameworks, fundamentally altering traditional systems of authority and community support. Despite these changes, many traditional governance and social structures persisted and continue to influence modern African political and social dynamics. The paper highlights the resilience and adaptability of African societies in the face of colonial disruption and modern challenges, emphasizing the enduring legacy of pre-colonial traditions. Through historical and anthropological analysis, the study provides insights into the multifaceted impacts of these evolutionary processes on contemporary African society, underscoring the importance of understanding Africa's rich historical context for its future development and democratization.
