Abstract
Most of us in African studies today belong to that generation of scholars who started their work at a time when virtually all the genuine knowledge we had of Africa was gathered by anthropologists.

Anthropologists dominated the field, for better or for worse, when most of Africa was under colonial control, when Africa was politically an extension of Europe and economically within the metropolitan sphere of influence or control. That was, we all know, the past of Africa, and anthropologists, like most Africans, knew their place.
