Why do Western scholars argue that Africa had no history?

Why do Western scholars argue that Africa had no history?

Answers


Belvine
Westerners knew little information about the past of Africa, apart from possibly slavery. Westerners used this as a moral excuse to transport the enslaved Africans and to bring division amongst Africans and the myth of absence of African history was therefore invented. This gave them a right to exploitively tackle the salvages. They were convicted that if Africa had no histroy, then civilisation and culture were absent and Africa was inferior to Westerners.
