Africa's Pre-Colonial Achievements: Unveiling the Continent's Rich Heritage
European settlers carried their own opinions on the African way of life with them when they first arrived in the continent. They considered the loincloths, grass huts, and thatched roofs to be primitive in comparison to their own ideals of civilization because they were from colder climes that required the usage of clothing. Three essential components—commerce, civilization, and Christianity—were brought with the goal of "improving" Africa. The spread of Christianity had a particularly negative effect since it forced Africans to give up their own identities and accept new ones, even though Africa had already created its own forms of trade and civilization under the influence of capitalist nations. Africans were baptized in the names of foreign gods and saints, and colonization was sold as a rise of humanity from its pre-existing condition.

Blatant Blares!
💫✨ 🧡🦢🦢🦢🧡 ✨💫 ©✍️ Madhu Goteti ,July 6,2023 I have been a Nobody’s fool for everybody’s rule. And Look ! I don’t want to draw out on any pattern printing and say: “O ! Lo! Behold! I am holding this mirror and look —This is where I was lost and this is where I was found with a singularity of purpose riding over me.” Through the realms of existence affixed —as in, past, present and future’s defense, here I am. Yet, as I work thro’ my essence in presence, I feel centered in embracing this gift of life as though it was a cosmic descent🙏. It’s much like the bargain of golden grace that guards me to be rarified under this hiatus of history which repeats itself and never ends. And in all this the alchemical reality for me is that All world’s a stage and a bit of everything exists in it’s sheer cognizance to the other. Further to that, the fundamental notion that marks my psyche is that I see —I in thee ; thee in me; fitted more than enough to resonate me with thee ,and likewise, thee with me.
