Resumo

Infelizmente, as instituições acadêmicas africanas não correspondem às necessidades e interesses da África. Por cinquenta anos ou mais, “pensamos com a cabeça de outras pessoas” e falhamos, como regra. Se hoje sentimos que “chegou a hora para nós” (Césaire), teremos que pensar numa nova abordagem da Universidade, por nós mesmos. E mais particularmente nas ciências sociais e humanas, esta abordagem deve favorecer a articulação de “influxo” e “influxo”.
