Most Meaningful Takeaway of An African Voice Discussion

From my point of view, the most meaningful takeaway of today's discussion was Chinua's statement that it is needed to know and to understand the two views, the African view of the African situation, and the European authors'view of the African situation, to understand what the reality is. Knowing just one of the views would not mean knowing part of the reality, but instead, it would mean knowing nothing. Without both of the views, it would not be possible to understand, and empathize with what the reality of the imperialism issue meant to the countries that suffered it. In the discussion of this statement, everybody agreed on the fact that Chinua's statement was a good view, since every view would present the situation in the way that most would benefit themselves, neither the European authors were presenting correctly Africa and the Africans, nor the Africans were totally right with their view of imperialism.
