Description
  • No-one who wants to understand contemporary Africa can afford not to take into account anthropological knowledge of this continent that started to develop after the Scramble of Africa. Anthropology and Africa are inseparable entities, for good or bad. It is no coincidence that British social anthropology emerged during British colonial expansion. Echoing Ernest Gellner´s idea that „colonies are an exclusive laboratory in which anthropology conducts its research“, Africans became the most accessible „objects“ for the British (and other Europeans) from the 1920s onwards. As Africans retained viable societies, though transformed by colonial rule, the study of acculturation processes, cultural contacts etc. formed the centre of their intellectual inquiry. „The African others“, however, became not only the object of scholarly investigation, but also of the civilizing mission. The destruction of the colonial order left social anthropology open to attack.
