ethical orientation? Can the African spirituality be considered to be meta¬
physical1? Conversely, what are the foundations of the West that determine
society, religion, politics, and science? What do the mental and cultural
differences mean for the relationship between Africa and the West? What
impact do they specifically have on development cooperation?
These are some of the questions
Danner
attempts to grapple with in End of
Arrogance: Africa and the West
-
Understanding their Differences. A critical
and honest observer will often notice a subtle condescension by Westerners
towards Africans and resentment on the part of Africans towards the West.
Where does this tensed and unfortunate relationship originate from?
There are two essential reasons: Africa and the West have a common history
that can neither be forgotten nor forgiven by Africans
-
contempt, subjuga¬
tion, and exploitation through
sfave
trade, missionary, and colonisation. Both
have never been able to appreciate or understand the cultural and mental
orientation of each other. An approach of mutual understanding
-
contrary
to quantitative measuring
-
might help counter the arrogance of the West
and the distrust by Africans.
