Abstract

Abstract This article analyzes the debate on Pan-Africanist ideas in the journal Présence Africaine, between 1956 and 1963. For this, it will investigate three groups of primary sources: a) journal articles related to the theme; b) editorials on the matter; c) Minutes of I (1956) and II (1959) Congress of Black Writers and Artists. This research intends to find elements that provide a less anachronistic understanding of this ideology at the crucial moment of its possible consolidation as a postcolonial political ideology. The thesis that emerges from this examination is that the debate on the African personality played at that particular moment a central role, aiming at combining politics and culture in the same interpretation of Pan-Africanism.
