Recent Dutch and Belgian approaches to ethnicity in Africa
1993
Schilder, K. (African Studies Centre, Leiden (Netherlands)) | Binsbergen, W. van
The papers are discussed from a comparative and theoretical perspective, which highlights the shortcomings of current approaches to African ethnicity on two counts: the assumption that ethnicity is a colonial creation, and the over-emphasis on political manipulation. The papers here presented suggest that there is a case for a re-assessment of the limits to ethnic manipulation, and the exploration of the explanatory value of local culture considered over considerable time periods.
