This paper in interdisciplinary studies investigated the discursive effects of African development in the face of western capitalism and its hegemonic altruism [1] with close reference to insights from selected African creative art and social ‘writings’. It found out that I.Wallerstein’s world systems and its analysis are limited in spatial scope and explanatory power because of the conflict between structure and agency, the powerful presence of Africa states despite capitalism, the role of class struggles and the place of culture in the identity politics of Africans.
