2a Tradition v. Modernity, cont’d
Problem: what to take from pre-colonial past, what to take from the West
- modern technology essential, or would simply be conquered all over again;
- but modern technology comes in a ‘Western’ cultural dress: textbooks, language, etc.
- traditional culture still strong, -> need to consider what of it must be discarded, what can be retained in new, better society that will replace imperialism/colonialism one day.
