The main purpose of this short monograph is to demonstrate that David Benatar’s misanthropic argument for anti-natalism ought to be endorsed by any version of African Communitarianism. Given the emphasis that indigenous African worldviews place on the importance of procreation and the immediate family unit this result is highly surprising.
