The people with whom this thesis is concerned have chosen to participate in charge and technological advancement. They are engaged in development. Development, as here understood, requires that individuals contribute to the advance of a technological society while affirming their Africanness, albeit a changing Africanness. The study addresses the basic question "How can African youths, who desire to succeed materially, maintain some sort of integrated sense of self in a working environment dominated by a Western style of operation which potentially undermines their Africanness?" The answer is sought in terms of "mediation" between the conflicting African Traditional and Western Industrial world-views in such a way as to enhance development, while not being inconsistent with economic imperatives. It investigates empirically the content of what is being mediated and the mechanisms of the mediation. 2014-12-28T15:01:18Z 2014-12-28T15:01:18Z 2000 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10407 eng application/pdf Department of Religious Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
