Connexus ppl! a theme that runs through the poems in this unit is that a sense of pride is important to a sense of self-worth. what do you think is the connection between this theme and africa's history of colonial rule?

A connection that could be made between the importance of pride and self-worth and the colonial history of Africa is the fact that Africa has not had the chance other areas of the world have had to "prove themselves." Although Africa had a period of splendour in the past, in modern times its success has been low. The continent depends heavily on foreign aid, and many of its institutions were implemented by the colonial powers, and not by Africans themselves.

Africans might have a damaged sense of pride as it might seem like many of their modern features do not belong to them, and that their chances to flourish were diminished due to colonialism. They might also be interested in highlighting those aspects of their culture and way of life that are admirable and that were created by Africans only. Pride in this accomplishments is likely to lead to a sense of self-worth that is important to all people. The poems most likely reflect this sentiment, one that has been difficult to find in a post-colonial world.
