| dc.description | Globalisation and the subsequent eroding of national and cultural borders, especially in relation to cultural autonomy have produced ambivalent developments. It has been argued that its canon of mutual exchangeability of values is not reflected in practice and this argument is predicated on the fact that the cultural traffic continues to flow from the western societies to the rest of the World in a manner that reinforces the neo-colonial domination which Globalisation sets out to diminish, in the first instance. Consequently, it has become d matter of urgency that affected societies revisit the concept of Globalization with a view to · reappraising its benefits and devise a roadmap that ensures the two-way traffic between the West and the rest of the world that reflects this canon nf mutual exchange, otherwise, it bec01hes imperative that policies be put in place that would preserve the cultural autonomy and identity of affected societies. This paper makes a case for the >resuscitation of the dying traditions of cultural dances in public schools as one of the avmues of strengthening moral values and engendering cultural identity among the youth of post-colonial societies in the age of Globalization. The study employs the theon; of post-colonialism as a conceptual approach of discus~ ion. The research is expected to contribute to the knowledge towards the search for social and national identity, concepts which are unqer the imminent threat of Globalizing forces. | |
