Resumo: | Since the second half of the 20th century, the African post-colonial moment has faced, among countless adversities, conflicts often referred to as “ethnic”. However, there are authors who warn against the excessive and sometimes uncritical use of concepts such as ethnicity, ethnicity, tribe and nation, in order to characterize the ways in which political impasses operate in the African continent. By observing the trajectory of these concepts over time, it is possible to explan the problems experienced by African populations, as well as to understand the genesis of the nation-state models in force in contemporary times. In order to diverge from old paradigms that for a long period reduced the complexity of African history, a better understanding of conceptual uses aligned with a meticulous historicity becomes necessary for the writing of an African history with greater criticality and free from prejudice, which still tied to nineteenth-century scientific racism. Detailing analysis concepts aimed at studies of the African continent are of paramount importance for the writing of a history free from stigmas and prejudices. |

Ethnicity, ethnicity and modernity: A historical analysis of the use of concepts in poscolonial AfricaEtnia, etnicidade e modernidade: Uma análise histórica do uso dos conceitos na África pós-colonialEthnicityEthnic expressionsPostcolonialEtnicidadeExpressões étnicasPós-colonialSince the second half of the 20th century, the African post-colonial moment has faced, among countless adversities, conflicts often referred to as “ethnic”. However, there are authors who warn against the excessive and sometimes uncritical use of concepts such as ethnicity, ethnicity, tribe and nation, in order to characterize the ways in which political impasses operate in the African continent.

Detailing analysis concepts aimed at studies of the African continent are of paramount importance for the writing of a history free from stigmas and prejudices. O momento pós-colonial africano enfrenta desde a segunda metade do século XX, dentre inúmeras adversidades, conflitos muitas vezes denominados como “étnicos”. Entretanto, existem autores que alertam para o uso excessivo e, por vezes pouco crítico de conceitos como etnia, etnicidade, tribo e nação, no intuito de caracterizar maneiras pelas quais operam os empasses políticos no continente africano. Ao observar a trajetória destes conceitos ao longo do tempo se torna possível explicitar os problemas vividos pelas populações africanas, bem como compreender a gênese dos modelos de estado-nação vigentes na contemporaneidade. A fim de divergir de antigos paradigmas que por longo período reduziram a complexidade da história africana, um melhor entendimento dos usos conceituais alinhado a uma historicidade meticulosa se torna necessário para a escrita de uma história da África com mais criticidade e livre de preconceitos, os quais ainda se encontram amarrados ao racismo cientificista do século XIX. Pormenorizar conceitos de análise direcionados aos estudos do continente africano são de suma importância para a escrita de uma história livre de estigmas e de preconceitos.
