Summary

Summary

Confronts the paradox that while Western cultures recoil from claims of universality, previously colonized peoples, seeking to redefine their identities, insist on cultural particularities. Drawing on aspects of Akan thought, the author asserts the compatibility of universal and particular values in defining cultural identities.
