Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Conversations on the Conflict in Ethiopia (video)

Is "conflict" not inherent in every culture? Is "domination" not inherent in human nature? Is there any culture that ever lacked "conflict"  or "domination"? So doesn't the crucial question become whether or not  the discriminations or conflicts within or between cultures or societies differ in kind or in degrees?

It depends on how you define culture. The cultural Studies definition by Du Bois, CLR James, Fanon, Cabral, Stuart Hall, and Ngugi suggests that culture is so political that all politics is cultural: culture is a weapon in the struggle for domination and for liberation. Culture is not the ways of life of a people, contrary to colonial anthropology, because how people live is not necessarily how they chose to live under racist imperialist patriarchy. Check out how little education the people are receiving especially outside the Addis Ababa region whereas illiteracy could be wiped out within a few years rather than arm ethnic warlords to seek to conquer others and rule over them by force at huge costs.
