Description
A landmark study of African culture, first published in English over 50 years ago, Muntu remains a valuable insight into the foundations of the continent's rich and diverse cultural heritage. Janheinz Jahn's insightful examination spans traditional and modern African thought, exploring its expression in various fields such as religion, language, philosophy, literature, art, music, and dance. The book demonstrates that African culture is evolving into a vibrant and independent civilization, capable of incorporating elements from the West that align with its core values.
