Being Afrikan

In ‘Being Afrikan’, Prof. Mandivamba Rukuni puts in writing the age-old richness and values of the African philosophy ‘Ubuntu’ – as a modern basis for the African Renaissance. Leading the discussion on what it means to define yourself as an African, the book also shines a new light on the diminishing ability of human beings to relate to one another in an age of advancing technology and the importance of rebuilding that capacity. The ideas and pathways set out in Being Afrikan will give you the tools to become the human being God and your ancestors wanted you to be, while developing your capacity and insight to provide leadership within your family, your community, your business, your country, and if you wish, globally. While written for Africans in Africa, this book is also an invaluable tool for Africans in the Diaspora, as well as anyone else, who wishes to learn more about what it means to be human.
