Globalization inspite of its touted advantages has become the greatest
threat to economic and political sovereignty. Capitalism as we know it is
falling apart especially in sub-Saharan Africa with a diverse culture and
where the transformation is pervasive. This paper examines globalization
historically, its dimension and context, national cultures and the ethnical
perception of globalization. And concludes by examining the disruptive
effect on African societies.
