| সংক্ষিপ্ত: | Up to the attainment of power, African nationalism was composed of an anti-colonial awareness and a Pan-African solidarity uniting all forces against the common enemy on vague and general bases but suffused with a strong revolutionary force.Since independence, Pan-African nationalism has become a tendency which is anxious to obtain optimum conditions for complete decolonization, an ethnic consolidation going beyond all frontiers and the liberation of the colonized South.This is now counterbalanced by the appearance of local nationalism which is a form of dissected patriotism, sometimes conservative, sometimes progressist. Even the conservative brand can be a cohesive factor when compared whith tribal separatism which is anothe1’aspect of traditionalism. However, it is important to note that it acts as a vehicle for the interests of an intelligentzia tempted to accumulate capital and to bring about a political consolidation of the rich strata of society which could lead to direct co-operation with the old imperialist enemy if radical change threatened their position.When it turns towards Socialism, African nationalism is an original mixture. It wants to root itself in collectivist traditions and not in foreign ideology, which is not displeasing to Western bourgeois authors; it prefers to count on the common moral points that unite the various strata of society rather than on material antagonism; emotional and contradictory, it has many petits-bourgeois features.The future of African Socialism depends on those of its representatives who will be able to express the interests of the poor peasantry and urban-dwellers. |
