Past and Present. Subsaharan Africa in European Perception

Original language description

The aim of this article is to look at the complexity of the condition of past and present sub-Saharan Africa, as it is seen from the perspective of Europeans. By pointing out to the conteporary historical, social, anthropological and political studies onAfrica, there is an attempt to overcome two widespread clichés on Africa that are being perpetuated, particularly by the media, opinion makers and to a certain extent through the public education system. The crucial question raised here is whether an ordinary inhabitant of the Western World can understand today´s sub-Saharan Africa that is characterised by ongoing poverty, pandemic diseases, armed conflicts, political mismanagement, but also by Africa´s current endeavour to resolve all these predicaments by adopting the vision of a rebirth of Africa, i.e. African Renaissance.
