The impact of colonialism on Indigenous cultures in Africa was profound and multifaceted. European powers, driven by economic interests, disrupted traditional societies and imposed foreign governance, often disregarding local customs and systems. Colonialism led to the exploitation of resources, land displacement, and significant cultural assimilation, as Western education and religion were introduced. Many Indigenous people were marginalized, facing loss of identity and autonomy while grappling with new social and economic structures. Despite these challenges, Indigenous cultures have shown resilience and adaptability, leading to ongoing movements for rights, recognition, and the revival of cultural practices in the post-colonial context.
