First sentence: Being asked to write, as someone embedded in African culture, about my views and perception of knowledge, I think it is most efficient to present them largely in the form of an account of my personal experiences of being confronted with others having and acquiring knowledge, bestowing it on me, and of myself bestowing my acquired knowledge on others.
