Th is book is a real dive into the labyrinths of African political thought, since Stephen Chan highlights its major constellations, and explores its multiple theoretical fi liations. According to Chan, African political thought does not emerge ex nihilo, because Africa has inherited various foreign infl uences. Prior to Western invasion, for instance, Islamic dynamic had initiated a process of exchange of ideas and cultures between Africa and the Islamic world from the eastern coast of the continent. Western occupation contributed, through slave trade, slavery and colonisation, to the dispersal of African people in the new world. Th is process relied on the idea that Africa was above all a place of exoticism and a living illustration of the primitive state of humankind. Th e abolition of slavery, the prohibition of racial discrimination, and inherent violence allowed the emergence of the idea of returning to Africa, on behalf of former black slaves. Th is premise was based on the belief that Africa was the land of predestination of black people. African-Americans could live in freedom and prosper without hindrance in this continent. Th e American Colonial Society supported such a belief. At some point, countries like Liberia and Sierra Leone can be viewed as an off shoot of this utopia. Personalities like Edward W. Blyden and Marcus Garvey, for example, were great protagonists of returning African-Americans to Africa. Blyden believed that this return was a way to avoid racial discrimination, domination, and the exploitation of black people by white people (p. 17). For this brilliant intellectual, Islam would be the most suitable religion for African people, as it would embody a unifying force and a source of spiritual renewal that black people needed so much. Blyden pioneered the postulate that black freedom and black pride could be achieved only through black authenticity, in a black continent with, if not a black religion, a less white one (p. 18). Nicknamed the black Moses, Marcus Garvey dreamed of building a great black nation. He exhorted black people in the United States to return to Africa, where they would be the majority population and have real political power.

They contributed, for example, to the fall of the Compaoré regime in October 2014. They closely follow the evolution of democracy in Senegal and create anxiety for the Congolese (DRC) over the mandate regime. Their commitment can be viewed as a search for peace as social cohesion. The paper explores two case studies: the Balai citoyen and Filimbi. It affirms that these youth platforms deal with issues that are intertwined between local challenges, global interactions and transnational conflicts. They can be viewed as peace builders.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="108a8b6738c787da251209419971cbfa" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":105832837,"asset_id":106894624,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/105832837/download_file?st=MTczNDAyOTUwNiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="106894624"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="106894624"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 106894624; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=106894624]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=106894624]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 106894624; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='106894624']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 106894624, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "108a8b6738c787da251209419971cbfa" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=106894624]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":106894624,"title":"The African Youth Civic Movements and the Struggle for Peace: The Case of Balai Citoyen and Filimbi","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"Can African youth be a sustainable resource for peace?

The book examines historical losses of African intrinsic values, the interplay between structure and agency, and offers a case study on higher education in the Democratic Republic of Congo, ultimately presenting a nuanced discussion on the challenges facing the continent.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2016,"errors":{}}},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/87598126/Elonga_Mboyo_Jean_Pierre_2015_Africa_Through_Structuration_Theory_Ntu_Bamenda_Langaa_Research_and_Publishing_CIG","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-09-29T23:20:56.307-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":14774030,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":91763620,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/91763620/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"70.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/91763620/download_file?st=MTczNDAyOTUwNyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Elonga_Mboyo_Jean_Pierre_2015_Africa_Thr.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/91763620/70-libre.pdf?1664529120=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DElonga_Mboyo_Jean_Pierre_2015_Africa_Thr.pdf\u0026Expires=1734033107\u0026Signature=cud6W~V9dWszWt2h3OXJeRZBvu8P~~FW0IGPGpVWKfEY79xprQQmtSMgXlaBGmd3mSFyPXmesGgAAPSmLweA3jEScUU6tUw0TBIt5XVj2GDIhkshuxrNLPlJgQ2feRfQYwFSCMHkvXOaB58oVXmU2CyLpijkivj6VaL5Y4jqPgMkYvb4kUjK1yAt0WCODk-faYYf1xZZRXQdU9Uguhl4XYRUOBpY9r7WhdsZfHE-x3qCVmiHbTNcSj3YQ2iiL1V3JaUSJpm4d87mtaDxRCYoHtaRqsnxMwyfxxFU-vnhOJdT5kX94A0K5L3IzQmYSIrmRs1bn8B1z0RtuCwGM3op5Q__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Elonga_Mboyo_Jean_Pierre_2015_Africa_Through_Structuration_Theory_Ntu_Bamenda_Langaa_Research_and_Publishing_CIG","translated_slug":"","page_count":7,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","summary":null,"owner":{"id":14774030,"first_name":"Albert","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Kasanda","page_name":"AlbertKasanda","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2014-08-06T05:29:38.363-07:00","display_name":"Albert Kasanda","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/AlbertKasanda"},"attachments":[{"id":91763620,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/91763620/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"70.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/91763620/download_file?st=MTczNDAyOTUwNyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Elonga_Mboyo_Jean_Pierre_2015_Africa_Thr.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/91763620/70-libre.pdf?1664529120=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DElonga_Mboyo_Jean_Pierre_2015_Africa_Thr.pdf\u0026Expires=1734033107\u0026Signature=cud6W~V9dWszWt2h3OXJeRZBvu8P~~FW0IGPGpVWKfEY79xprQQmtSMgXlaBGmd3mSFyPXmesGgAAPSmLweA3jEScUU6tUw0TBIt5XVj2GDIhkshuxrNLPlJgQ2feRfQYwFSCMHkvXOaB58oVXmU2CyLpijkivj6VaL5Y4jqPgMkYvb4kUjK1yAt0WCODk-faYYf1xZZRXQdU9Uguhl4XYRUOBpY9r7WhdsZfHE-x3qCVmiHbTNcSj3YQ2iiL1V3JaUSJpm4d87mtaDxRCYoHtaRqsnxMwyfxxFU-vnhOJdT5kX94A0K5L3IzQmYSIrmRs1bn8B1z0RtuCwGM3op5Q__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":184,"name":"Sociology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sociology"},{"id":1139,"name":"Publishing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Publishing"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

Stephen Chan's book helps to fi ll this gap. Th is book is a real dive into the labyrinths of African political thought, since Stephen Chan highlights its major constellations, and explores its multiple theoretical fi liations. According to Chan, African political thought does not emerge ex nihilo, because Africa has inherited various foreign infl uences. Prior to Western invasion, for instance, Islamic dynamic had initiated a process of exchange of ideas and cultures between Africa and the Islamic world from the eastern coast of the continent. Western occupation contributed, through slave trade, slavery and colonisation, to the dispersal of African people in the new world. Th is process relied on the idea that Africa was above all a place of exoticism and a living illustration of the primitive state of humankind. Th e abolition of slavery, the prohibition of racial discrimination, and inherent violence allowed the emergence of the idea of returning to Africa, on behalf of former black slaves. Th is premise was based on the belief that Africa was the land of predestination of black people. African-Americans could live in freedom and prosper without hindrance in this continent. Th e American Colonial Society supported such a belief. At some point, countries like Liberia and Sierra Leone can be viewed as an off shoot of this utopia. Personalities like Edward W. Blyden and Marcus Garvey, for example, were great protagonists of returning African-Americans to Africa. Blyden believed that this return was a way to avoid racial discrimination, domination, and the exploitation of black people by white people (p. 17). For this brilliant intellectual, Islam would be the most suitable religion for African people, as it would embody a unifying force and a source of spiritual renewal that black people needed so much. Blyden pioneered the postulate that black freedom and black pride could be achieved only through black authenticity, in a black continent with, if not a black religion, a less white one (p. 18). Nicknamed the black Moses, Marcus Garvey dreamed of building a great black nation. He exhorted black people in the United States to return to Africa, where they would be the majority population and have real political power.

The book examines historical losses of African intrinsic values, the interplay between structure and agency, and offers a case study on higher education in the Democratic Republic of Congo, ultimately presenting a nuanced discussion on the challenges facing the continent.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2016,"errors":{}}},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/87598126/Elonga_Mboyo_Jean_Pierre_2015_Africa_Through_Structuration_Theory_Ntu_Bamenda_Langaa_Research_and_Publishing_CIG","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-09-29T23:20:56.307-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":14774030,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":91763620,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/91763620/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"70.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/91763620/download_file?st=MTczNDAyOTUwNyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczNDAyOTUwNyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Elonga_Mboyo_Jean_Pierre_2015_Africa_Thr.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/91763620/70-libre.pdf?1664529120=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DElonga_Mboyo_Jean_Pierre_2015_Africa_Thr.pdf\u0026Expires=1734033107\u0026Signature=cud6W~V9dWszWt2h3OXJeRZBvu8P~~FW0IGPGpVWKfEY79xprQQmtSMgXlaBGmd3mSFyPXmesGgAAPSmLweA3jEScUU6tUw0TBIt5XVj2GDIhkshuxrNLPlJgQ2feRfQYwFSCMHkvXOaB58oVXmU2CyLpijkivj6VaL5Y4jqPgMkYvb4kUjK1yAt0WCODk-faYYf1xZZRXQdU9Uguhl4XYRUOBpY9r7WhdsZfHE-x3qCVmiHbTNcSj3YQ2iiL1V3JaUSJpm4d87mtaDxRCYoHtaRqsnxMwyfxxFU-vnhOJdT5kX94A0K5L3IzQmYSIrmRs1bn8B1z0RtuCwGM3op5Q__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Elonga_Mboyo_Jean_Pierre_2015_Africa_Through_Structuration_Theory_Ntu_Bamenda_Langaa_Research_and_Publishing_CIG","translated_slug":"","page_count":7,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","summary":null,"owner":{"id":14774030,"first_name":"Albert","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Kasanda","page_name":"AlbertKasanda","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2014-08-06T05:29:38.363-07:00","display_name":"Albert Kasanda","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/AlbertKasanda"},"attachments":[{"id":91763620,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/91763620/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"70.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/91763620/download_file?st=MTczNDAyOTUwNyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczNDAyOTUwNyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Elonga_Mboyo_Jean_Pierre_2015_Africa_Thr.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/91763620/70-libre.pdf?1664529120=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DElonga_Mboyo_Jean_Pierre_2015_Africa_Thr.pdf\u0026Expires=1734033107\u0026Signature=cud6W~V9dWszWt2h3OXJeRZBvu8P~~FW0IGPGpVWKfEY79xprQQmtSMgXlaBGmd3mSFyPXmesGgAAPSmLweA3jEScUU6tUw0TBIt5XVj2GDIhkshuxrNLPlJgQ2feRfQYwFSCMHkvXOaB58oVXmU2CyLpijkivj6VaL5Y4jqPgMkYvb4kUjK1yAt0WCODk-faYYf1xZZRXQdU9Uguhl4XYRUOBpY9r7WhdsZfHE-x3qCVmiHbTNcSj3YQ2iiL1V3JaUSJpm4d87mtaDxRCYoHtaRqsnxMwyfxxFU-vnhOJdT5kX94A0K5L3IzQmYSIrmRs1bn8B1z0RtuCwGM3op5Q__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":184,"name":"Sociology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sociology"},{"id":1139,"name":"Publishing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Publishing"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });
