I am an African Cedric Raymond De La Harpe

The author, having integrated in the African community, as a white South African, born in 1947, lived through Apartheid, was never anti-Apartheid, often referred to by the locals as the 'Black Zulu', or, a 'Black man in a white skin', refused to make any claim to being an African. Then, when he gets involved in the Pan Africanist philosophy, while analysing the failures of the Africanist, he first understands that an African's lifestyle is embodied in humanity, a cultivated humanity, that results in a behaviour that is compulsive. When I become alert to this definition, for the first time I start to see our community, no longer as 'black and white', I see the groups as African and Non-African. I discover that I am an African.
