Title Reading Mudimbe as a Historian | ||
|
Date 2005 | ||

Author(s) Brenner, Louis | ||

Abstract This paper is less a critique of Prof. Mudimbe's work than an attempt to reflect on several themes in his writings in relationship to my own work as a historian of religion in Africa. The paper is divided into two sections. The first addresses what I consider to be the central problematic in Prof. Mudimbe's work: the exploration of the epistemological context that makes possible a particular discourse on Africa at a given time and place. The second part speculates on possible ways forward for an Africanist historian who wishes to engage with the problematic that Prof. Mudimbe has set. | ||
