ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book sets out to explore and reflect on possible modes of literature that globalization can generate in Africa with forms and content informed by the African reality and relevance. It discusses the different aspects of globalization, especially the new technologies and fast communication networks that include social media. The book describes how Pentecostalism as well as communication networks which market European football, Western lifestyles, movies, and others are deeply affecting Africans whether in the Mother Continent or abroad. Pentecostal evangelism is destroying African culture in the name of propagating Christianity. The book shows how the British colonizers, in their agricultural policies, established a system to encourage the cultivation of cash crops as in Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria of cocoa, tea, pyrethrum, palm trees and groundnuts.
