A frase "It is common to find teachers who choose to study African history and culture by rescuing African mythology and literature, in order to promote a valorization of African heritage and cultural productions. This movement, intriguing and innovative, especially for students, can - and should - be accompanied by historical and sociological analyses of the continent, which does not always happen. This exclusion of proper historical and sociological analysis has sometimes contributed to a return to what would be an ancestral, mythical, ahistorical Africa or understood only by its considered valuable traits within the positive affirmation of the self-esteem of Afro-Brazilian people." pode ser considerada uma reflexão sobre a importância de estudar a história e a cultura africana, resgatando a mitologia e a literatura africana para valorizar o patrimônio e as produções culturais africanas. No entanto, é destacado que esse movimento deve ser acompanhado por análises históricas e sociológicas do continente, o que nem sempre acontece. A exclusão dessas análises adequadas pode contribuir para uma visão ancestral, mítica e a-histórica da África, entendida apenas por suas características consideradas valiosas dentro da afirmação positiva da autoestima do povo afro-brasileiro.
