"I consider culture as a rampart which protects a people, a collectivity. Culture must, above all, play a protective role: it must ensure the cohesion of the group.
Following this line of thinking, the vital functions of a body of African human science is to develop this science of collective belonging through a reinforcement of culture.
This can be done by developing the linguistic factors, by reestablishing the historical the consciousness of African and black people so as to arrive at a common feeling of belonging to the same culture and historical past.
Once this is attained, it will become difficult to ‘divide and rule’ and to oppose African communities one against the other.�
