Chapter 20 pgs. 607-614

In the second half of chapter 20 the author discusses the cultural change in Africa and Asia because of their exposure to European culture. One of the changes was education. Education would allow them to get better-paying jobs, and they did not have to live under the European control. People would even start to be like the Europeans like they would dress, speak the language, and even build European style houses. Those who were educated now believed that they were superior of those who were not. Another change that took place was religion. There was a large spread of Christianity throughout New Zealand, the Pacific islands, and non-Muslim Africa. There was a great liking to Christianity. Many people became attracted to the new faith. Lastly the cultural change that took place was the recognition of race and ethnicity. This is because of the Europeans racism. Different countries acknowledge that they have a different history then the Europeans and culture resulting in their own history. The Africans were able to find the ethnic identities useful, especially in separating groups by language in fast growing urban areas.
