What is the meaning of Africa and of being Arican? What is and what is not African philosophy? Is philosophy part of "Africanism"? These are the kinds of fundamental questions that this book addresses. Mudimbe argues that the various discourses themselves establish the worlds of thought in which people conceive their identity. Western anthropologists and missionaires have introduced distortions not only for outsiders but also for Africans trying to understand themselves.
