Negritude
The African experience is based on emotion not reason because emotion is at the center of African culture.
Leopold Sedar Senghor says …
From our ancestors we have inherited our own method of knowledge …. In contrast to the classic European, the Negro African does not draw a line between himself and the object; he does not hold it at a distance, nor does he merely look at it and analyze it, he takes it vibrant in his hands, careful no to kill or fix it.
