Anotace knihy

At first glance, Daniel Lerner and Jimi Adesina would§seem to be §implacably opposed:Lerner's championing of modernity§in the §Middle East during the 1950s seems at odds with§Adesina's apparent rejection §of technology for technology's sake in Africa some§fifty years later. §However, a closer reading of both authors reveals a§shared belief in §the transformative power of education. Both men are§united in their §understanding that education and literacy must§accompany technical §developments on the march to progress. For Lerner, 'the §modernising man' has to make sense of the media to§which he (or §she) is exposed. Furthermore, Adesina argues that§'endogeneity' and §sustainability rooted in African intellectual§activity are essential §elements in any technological development. Otherwise,§what will be §adopted are, in his words, "Western patterns of§consumption not §Afrocentric trends of development."§§From "The Passing of Traditional Society" to the§"fatal distractions" §of today's information technology, authentic§education still §empowers individuals and societies to distinguish§between the §vacuous and the valuable.
