"This volume challenges current worldviews on humanity, language, society and history. ‘African Potentials’ are open, dynamic, not fixed or static. They are founded on pluralism, tolerance and openness – not imposed unity. One reiterated theme of the book’s chapters is that some of the world’s problems and conflicts can be resolved using African experiences and values. A valuable contribution to the argumentation for the potentiality of Africa’s linguistic and cultural dynamism by respected African and Japanese scholars."
