Any books, fiction or non-fiction, about how disgusting humans are in general? We shit. We cum. We leak water when we exercise. We have wax in our ears and snot in the nostrils.

>have read only western philosophy and European culture
OP, I don't know how to tell you this. You ARE a product of western philosophy and European culture. That is your culture. African culture exists, but in a context that cannot be satisfactorily captured in a book written in English by someone 400 years removed. Africa is a literal wartorn shithole in the center, capitalism on the fringes. It's all the horrors of Soviet collectivization combined with all the stupidity of European wars in the middle ages. Reconnecting with some vague panafricanism from the comfort and safety of the first world is for larpers. Tread carefully lest you become cringe.

>don't know shit about my African culture
>my African culture
It's either going to be something you invented or something an actual African invites you to share with them. To be perfectly honest "African-Americans" are their own culture. They're a product of the west and whatever traditions they brought with them. Look into your family if you can, where they're from in the US, any scrap of information at all might help you find out where in West Africa your ancestors came from. Failing that, there are traditions you can adopt. Go to South Carolina and visit an African-American heritage center, or go eat at a black-owned bbq pit and talk to people. Learn about sweetgrass baskets or African cooking or dancing or singing other crafts.

tldr wanting to reconnect with Africa is a meme, honor your ancestors by getting to know their influence in the south
