Africa-European Encounters

African-European Cultural Encounters beyond Semiotics. 

About Africa-European Encounters

  • The blog is a space to objectively engage on how we represent African and European encounters in the past to ourselves and to others?  The blog engages its audience on the way African and European encounters are represented, and when, where, and why do we sometimes change such representations.  The blog looks at how such representations shape our actions, identities, and understandings of African and European relations.  The blog expounds on how individual-level processes interact with collective ones, and vice versa.  The blog interrogates what it means to think about African and European encounters in such a way? The blog questions what ways are we ethically and politically obligated to explore African and European encounters, and what are the consequences of meeting, or failing to meet, these obligations. These questions and more are because Europe remains the best ally of Africa. Irrespective of Sino-Russian current colonization of Africa.
