Afrology

Afrology is a scientific study of the organization of the contemporary social structures of Africa. It places in the heart of African social change the notion of identity.

Afrology is a way of thinking about the various forms of social, institutional and personal identification. It posits that each individual, though determined by mental and psychological structures, reconstructs himself within the framework of specific or general broad collective identities, of which the modern State is an example.

This identity remains to be created in Africa. The problem arising in contemporary Africa is that of the reality of this State, federator of the institutions of socialization like the family, the village and the market, is for the most part unrealized. The collective identity, its delimitations, and its instrumentalization by politics consequently constitute the major axes of the comprehension of African society.
