This change and its rapidity is in large measure due to the influence, welcome or otherwise, of western culture on Africa. The fusion and symbiosis of traditional African cultureand Western Euro-American culture has not proved to be either an easy or a desirable fusion. Many problems have arisen and many areas of socalled "progress" have viewed as a highly questionable force for good. |
