• TITLE: Ethnocentrism and Nation. Reflection on Blocking Factors the Birth of the African Subject

  AUTHORS: Mbemba-Mpandzou Anselme

  KEYWORDS: Ethnocentrism, Cultural Identity, Consciousness, Subject, Nation

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Philosophy, Vol.8 No.5, November 30, 2018

  ABSTRACT: The article questions the concepts of ethnocentrism and nation in order to identify the universes of meaning that they contain and assess their relevance in the construction of the nation. From the perspective of this construction, obstacles strew this course and prevent the birth of the African subject, the very one who is the key. The purpose of the article is to give the necessary tools to hatch a national conscience, pledge of strengthening of patriotic bond and citizen. Without this national consciousness, it is impossible for the young African republics to become nations and to embark on the path of emergence.
