Abstract

This article contributes to the assessment of decolonization in what is known as sub-Saharan Africa, from the context of a contested independence in many African countries, which highlights the claim for a new kind of decolonization. After reconsidering the way in which the decolonization process took place in Africa in the aftermath of the Second World War, the article proposes the theory of reinventionism as a way to gain genuine self-determination. That theory, which should fuel all the aspects of the African reality, is meant to lead to a breaking up with any structural domination in Africa. Rethinking decolonization in Africa, as no longer a mere Africanization of the structures of domination but as a way of liberation, is imperative.

重新思考“撒哈拉以南非洲”的非殖民化:走向重塑主义
这篇文章有助于从许多非洲国家有争议的独立背景下评估撒哈拉以南非洲的非殖民化,强调了对新型非殖民化的主张。在重新思考第二次世界大战后非洲非殖民化进程的方式后,文章提出了重塑主义理论,作为获得真正自决的一种方式。这一理论应该为非洲现实的各个方面提供燃料,其目的是打破非洲的任何结构性统治。当务之急是重新思考非洲的非殖民化,不再仅仅是统治结构的非洲化,而是一种解放方式。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
