Ethnicité, Tribalisme Et Ingénierie Sociale En Afrique : Des Sociétés Précoloniales Aux Indépendances
Auteurs : Lotfi Touatit .
Résumé
Ethnicity, tribalism and clanismare closely linked terms, sometimes used interchangeably and referring to a certain image, tinged with pessimism, of Africa. However, before colonization, these residues of colonial social engineering were completely absent from the African cognitive landscape, precolonial African societies having already been well integrated into relatively dense regional and international exchange dynamics, supported well advanced state-building processes. The ambition of this work is thus to question the introduction of these notions and concepts in the African landscape, presented as the keys to understanding the deep sources of violence in Africa. So, a critical look will be took at their sustainability during and beyond the processes of decolonization. It will therefore be a question of addressing the ethnic-tribal fact in Africa, then the survival of Western-centrism through the ethnic reading grid.
