  Students Movements in French-speaking Africa

  From the independence to the present day

  The french-speaking African Universities were created late and most of them were confronted, since their origin, to a series of problems, both circumstantial and structural. Universities are the site where entry into the ruling class, administration and government, is negociated. Crucible of the future elites, they were also places of protest and resistance. "'Repeated strikes', 'blank years', campus locked by the army, teachers not paid for months... These events were inscribed recurrently in the contemporary agenda of the Black African States" notes Pascal Bianchini. We wish to organize this symposium in an attempt to fill what the researchers calls a "genesis amnesia", a "memory defect". It involves inscribing the university situation of contemporary Africa in the history of the universities, or more generally, in the history of higher education establishments. It also involves reading the history of the African States and politics through the prism of student movements.
