Outside of whether John S. Mbiti is a brother or not, his essay exemplifies this contention of mine--particularly the mythology section.
For one thing he gives the lay reader an impression that no stories or mythology exists, in African cultures, citing an exclusive Female deity creating both woman and man. And the reader would necessarily get such an impression because the author took no effort to include such stories within his essay.
Thirdly, from such mythology the reader also gets the impression that it is solely our sisters' fault for the way humanity is presently, and us brothers have nothing, absolutely nothing whatsoever, to do with this phenomenon.
