Présentation

The Cahiers d’Études africaines, founded in 1960, have ever since favored the publication of previously unpublished articles, original investigations along with confirmed or emerging theoretical contributions.  While encouraging interdisciplinary perspectives, the journal concentrates on anthropological and historical research on Africa and societies linked to Africa throughout the world. The publication of articles in French and English contributes to the international recognition of the journal.
Issues before 2000 are freely accessible on persee.fr. Subscriptions are managed by École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales.

Varia

This varia issue reflects the crucial role of the history of colonialism in the study of the logics of categorization and asymmetrization of individuals and types of knowledge (French merchant navy; British Sudan). It also recalls the heuristic force of a connected history, which pays attention to the exchange of goods and the migration of people in order to revisit the construction of political formations (Madagascar). Finally, it is through ethnographic approaches close to the social actors that the political transactions within the local electoral game (Cameroon) or the inventive appropriation of the gestures and danced movements of krump (Senegal) are vividly revealed.
