Janheinz Jahn’s landmark 1958 book Muntu: An Outline of the New African Culture (translated into English in 1961) explores traditional and modern African thought. He demonstrates that African civilization is not doomed to destruction by Western influences, but is evolving into a rich, independent culture that can selectively integrate Western elements.
