Africa in a Globalized Democratic Existentialism
Maduabuchi Frank Dukor
Abstract
The whole question of African Freedom ranges from its definition, the genesis, the problem and the
background of African serfdom, the philosophical basis of her freedom to what it means for Africa to be free.
The question is; what does it mean to say that Africa is free? Or what conditions will characterize Africa as free?
In what forms will African future be in order for one to legitimately say that Africa is free? Presently,
even in the globalized world, Africa is unfree culturally and existentially. Karl Jaspers may have been a racist but
his existentialism will be used in defense of African freedom in a Globalized Democratic Existentialism. The
thesis of this paper is that good governance, democracy, sustainable and independent economic growth and
development of Africa cannot be conceived and achieved in isolation of a definable and tangible African
freedom from neocolonialism and imperialism of the west.
