Recursively concatenate files in subdirectories with the same folder name

I'm trying to concatenate files in subdirectories with the same folder name. Say concatenate all the files in the 'current' subdirectories in 'Literature' parent directory.

Literature/USA/current/
Literature/Europe/current/

Can anyone help with it? Thanks a lot!

  1. this works, but not to a great extent.
$ cat script.sh 
for i in `find . -not -iname '.' -type d`
do
echo $i
cd $i
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec cat {} >> ./$i.file \;
cd ..
done

A oneline title with nothing in the msg body wont help...provide an example of what you mean by all this.
