The Role of the Humanities in the African University Tomorrow

Diarrassouba

Bulletin of the Association of African Universities, 1, 1, 50-72, May 74

After reviewing the historical and potential place of the humanities in African education, the author advocates an educational model in which the humanities would be limited in the vertical plane (i.e. over-specialization discouraged) but expanded horizontally into other university departments. [Article is in both English and French.] (JT)
