african history

Bennet writing focus on the relation between african diaspora and the concept of history. Many writer like Hegel said that African diaspora is not a history at all. Because it put in contradiction the real meaning of history. For them only a nation has a history. Unlike hegels assertion, others affirm that the concept of history has been introduced by dominant continent like Europe and they have created their own rule about. So they arrive by their influence and their treatment on african that they create a kind of nationalism to african. By seing the history of the west we notice that african has contributed in part of the totality of her development. Thanks to that it was the west which made Africa but African had made the west history. So in thsi case Africa and the west historyare somehow linked. Europeen have introduice african in the world history thanks to slavery; in a kind of globalization because they tried to civilize them by their culture and send them in all part of the world. They arrived in america and help them in plantation until they manage to have a freedom; a freedom created not by mixing their culture in american culture but by findind their own culture. Historian, at this time, writing obscured the meanings submed under the terms African, slave and black. They had seen ethnicity, race and legal status on African or black. But, finally, we do not have to see slaves perspective as there domination in plantation society but as a idea of universality
