He cites European cultural studies, particularly Gramschnh4arxian hegemonic ideology, to illustrate that Africa’s backwardness is the result of both external and internal forces and suggests a &dquo;counter-hegemonic approach&dquo; as the development path Africa must pur-

They also recognize that biodiversity is not just an important component of sound ecology, but a necessary condition for both sound ecology and sustainable development. While the experts are right about the causal connection between these traditional worldviews and biodiversity, they leave the reader wondering how the worldviews are applied to achieve biodiversity. This paper aims at filling in this explanatory gap by arguing that, in the case of African traditional worldviews, taboos represent the best explanation for their successful ecological practices that enhance biodiversity and sustainable development.
