Synopsis "Current Trends in African Studies (in English)"
My teaching and research activities have led me to encounter a serious conflict between the leaders of African studies in order to control them. The management of African Studies since colonization by Africanists had produced a false knowledge about Africa. African scholars in African Studies decided to make an epistemological break by deconstructing the "colonial library" and decolonizing African Studies. At the same time, they undertook a genuine renewal of African historiography in order to "teach the history of Africa differently". First of all, they created and strengthened associations of history professors to lead the epistemological break and the historiographic renewal. It was then the drafting of a general history of Africa by UNESCO. In the end, the conflict that intensified around African studies between Africanists and "Afrocentrists" took on the appearance of a struggle for the research market. The solution to this conflict of interest is equal access to this market.
