Otwere, Mbosi Traditional Institution Facing the Challenges of the Development in Congo-Brazzaville

Abstract

 In this text, which is the result of our research, the work consists in looking in the culture of Otwere which allows it to face the challenges of modernity. The problem is two-fold. The first challenge is to look into the traditions of Otwere to see what allows it to resist the demands of the Congolese traditions at first and secondly to see what allows it to face the challenges of culture in the world, in the context of African literature. The oral and written works that are available on the mbosi group allow it to take part in the international concert of the promotion of African traditional cultural values. For this to happen the mbosi must present the elements of their culture to participate in the challenges. But unfortunately we find that Otwere was victim of attacks by the colonial regime and other African realities, even to the point of diminishing it power.
