The document discusses how Africans have adopted Western culture at the expense of their own culture, as represented in the poem "The Renegade" by David Diop. It argues that colonialism negatively impacted African culture, causing Africans to take on Western customs instead of their own traditions. This is seen in changes to marriage practices, food, clothing, language use, and more across the continent. The adoption of Western culture reflects the long-term consequences of colonialism on African societies.
