Shared Culture of Oneness- Here, There and Elsewhere: What of Cultural Security?

Throughout the ages Afrikan souls demonstrated their cultural prowess. This soul people have brought forth such excellence in their constructive living that it attracted onlookers who gasped in awe and wonderment at the achievements of this primary people of creation.

Unfortunately, many onlookers who meant the Afrikan ill, turned to the apparatus of invasion, conquest and destruction to suit their lustful whims.

Necessarily, Afrikan souls had to have ever-increasing focus on cultural security. Indeed, there are lessons in this for Afrikan souls today for the safeguarding of authentic Afrikan culture (creatively restored or otherwise). Such lessons can span the totality of Afrikan journeying inclusive of times where interruption and disruption at the hands of others the mean the Afrikan ill are imposed.

According to a contemporary mainstream source the term cultural security attracts the following detail:

“Cultural security is a philosophy and a way of operating that ensures all individuals and groups are treated with regard to their unique cultural needs and differences”.

According to another mainstream source:

“Getting security culture right will help develop a security conscious workforce”.

In the case of the latter extract attention is brought upon the target arena of the workforce. However, this can be usefully translated to a people.

Thus, to bring focus specifically to the Afrikan experience, both sourced details can be usefully adapted. The results may look something like the following;

“Afrikan cultural security is a naturally a part of an authentic Afrikan way of Life (whether creatively restored or otherwise).  It ensures that Afrikan people and their shared Afrikan culture of oneness is safeguarded here, there and elsewhere. Afrikan security culture naturally embedded within Afrikan life can rightfully develop a cultural security conscious people”.

If one bears in mind that the term cultural security can be translated to security of civilisation then perhaps the importance of such an endeavour brings itself to greater prominence. This primary people of creation wonderfully have readily accessible to them – wherever located – an excellent example of cultural restoration in the Nguzo Saba and the observance period of Kwanzaa from which it emerges. Surely, this and other necessary vehicles of cultural engagement are more than worthy of being safeguarded from generation to generation. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
