Complete the sentence: 'Hegel, in the 19th century, already postulated that 'Africa is not a historical part of the world. It has no movements, progress to show, its own historical movements.' This idea was kept practically untouched, including in academic circles, at least until the mid-_____ century. And even today it is still common (although not acceptable) for Africans to be described as uncivilized, not inclined to intellectual work and, in this tradition, considered incapable of thinking their own history.'
