A broad range of cultural works produced in traditional and modern
African communities shows a fundamental preoccupation with the
concepts of communal solidarity and hospitality in societies driven
by humanistic ideals. African Cultural Production and the Rhetoric
of Humanism is an inaugural attempt to focus exclusively and
extensively on the question of humanism in African art and culture.
This collection brings together scholars from different disciplines
who deftly examine the deployment of various forms of artistic
production such as oral and written literatures, paintings, and
cartoons to articulate an Afrocentric humanist discourse. The
contributors argue that the artists, in their representation of
civil wars, massive corruption, poverty, abuse of human rights, and
other dehumanizing features of post-independence Africa, call for a
return to the traditional African vision of humanism that is
relentlessly being eroded by the realities of postcolonial
nationhood.
