| Research Abstract |
The purpose our research was to investigate the effects of the political and economic liberalization in African nation states after a half century of independence. Our projects were using the technique of ethnographic research. Naturally our findings are different according to the places where we carried out our field researches. In Kenya there was an almost catastrophic disturbance after the recent presidential and parliamentary election and we found that behind the political disagreements there was a tremendous resurgence of the ethnic consciousness among the main ethnic groups of the country. In Busoga, Uganda, though it is now peaceful, we found a certain kind of ethno-cultural revival. It was firstly 'the cultural leader' system adopted constitutionally. There were now one restored Kingdom and 11 traditional chiefdoms. Then the clan organizations and traditional religious groups also started to reorganize themselves as 'cultural groups'. In South Africa the African consciousness naturally is increasing after the collapse of Apartheid and there is also an increasing ethno-nationalism. We investigated the case of changing local names from European to the African or ethnic names. In Western Tanzania, however, it was rather a diminishing ethnic consciousness that our researcher found in the movement against the HIV by local churches and NGOs. This is because, we think, there is a rather smooth and successful formation of the national culture in Tanzania.
