Nationalism, Ethnicity, and Class in Africa : A Retrospective
نویسنده
چکیده
Résumé M. C. Young — Nationalisme, ethnicité et classe en Afrique : une rétrospective. Ces trois notions ont, tour à tour, constitué les thèmes dominants des études africanistes au cours des trente dernières années — chacun de ces thèmes, avec sa méthode d'approche particulière, ne permettant que peu d'imbrications et de recouvrements. Une confrontation systématique de ces approches — et de leurs limites (vite atteintes) — avec les faits de l'histoire récente souligne tout à la fois leur utilité, leur complémentarité, et leurs insuffisances. L'analyse globale de la riche littérature sur ces thèmes génère plus de questions que de réponses, ce qui témoigne de son opportunité.
