The nature of Africa as a social construct means that it is viewed through a model or concept that adapts the nature to the ideals of a particular group, whether that be Europeans, the Diaspora, or any other group. By seeing it as a model of the particular group that wrote the material under examination, we can see the assumptions, both good and bad, that are being made. This helps us to see the truth that lies under it. The danger in assuming that everything is merely a concept lies in the model we ourselves are creating, which can be completely against a model, or completely accepting of another. Neither gets us the truth of a pan-African society, if there is such

Well said, William. The model is useful in helping outsiders, and insiders for that matter, to see the truth of the continent and its people.
