- W1497832368 abstract "Introduction Tedla (1991) wails in lamentation that Africa is seldom presented as a continent of creativity and inventions capable of influencing peoples from other contents who come in contact with it. The irony of this negative depiction of the African continent is that the influence and contribution of Africans and their descendants to Europe and the United States are incalculable if we think in terms of architecture, art, symbols, music, dance, raw materials, enslaved labour force, medicine, technology, manuscripts and arte facts housed in American and European museums and private collections, minerals, metals ... animals for zoos, scientists inventors and countless inventions. The words tribe, native and race, along with many of the ideas associated with these concepts, were first coined during the age of exploration, a time of European imperialism, exploitation, technological superiority and colonization (Meltzer, 1993). As Europeans encountered people from different parts of the world, they speculated about the physical, social, and cultural differences among various human groups. The rise of the Atlantic slave trade, which gradually displaced an earlier trade in slaves from throughout the world, created a further incentive to categorize human groups to justify the subordination of African slaves (Smedley, 1999). The concept race or racial group, western scholars have made us to believe refers to the categorization of humans into populations or groups on the basis of various sets of heritable characteristics (AAPA, 2010). This is typically the machinations of western scholars. To the western scholar conceptions of race, tribe, and native as well as specific ways of grouping them, vary by culture and over time are controversial. The controversy ultimately revolves around whether or not the socially constructed and perpetuated beliefs regarding tribe, native and race are biologically warranted. However, Julian the Apostate describe ancient Egyptians as highly intelligent and more given to crafts, and architecture (Michael & Olson, 2003). The classified concepts are assigned to differentiate people from one another, especially in the African continent by the colonialists and western scholars for the perpetration of their atrocities during the colonization period as Smedley (1993) correctly describes to justify the subordination of African slaves. Black African in White Europe will still be called Black Africa, or simply African (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ first/brace.html) Accessed 10th January 2010. More than ever before Africa has been used as a resort place for Western tourists and animal poachers; as a study place for various Western scholars, anthropologists and archaeologists. Africa has also been a job provider for Western missionaries, researchers and advisors who are eager to westernize Africa. The West has not ceased taking and receiving from Africa. Yet the picture that is painted is one of conflicts, a poverty-and-disease ridden continent that has little or nothing to offer the world ('humanity' my emphasis) (Tedla, 1991: 48-50). Who Made the Coloured People of Africa? Another derogatory concept that has been added to the English dictionary after colonization is people. Unfortunately, the epistemology of the concept shames the colonialists and western scholars and for that reason has decided not to give it a prominent space in their writings. Briefly, the colonialist coloured people are the direct off springs of the colonialists and the poor African women subjects that they raped and impregnated during their trampling expedition with no respect to culture, tradition and customs of the people they met. Fearing that if these coloured people are accorded their rightful place as sons and daughter of the colonialists, their atrocities and exploitations could come to an abrupt end because they would not like to see their own kit and kin, that is their coloured children and grand children suffer. …" @default.
