| Research Abstract |
This study has offered ethnographic descriptions of the youth peoples in contemporary African societies and clarified relationships between their traditional or local educational systems and their behaviors toward their traditional cultures. Then we reevaluated the potential of African traditional educational systems and offered some guidelines for the reconstruction of the environment in which the youth can play their roles for reproductions of traditional cultures.
The common basic education is really important for the promotion of so-called "empowerment" suggested by "human security" or "human development". However, at the same time, diverse and multiple significances of traditional and local educational systems of African societies should not be underestimated. This study suggest that we had better unite the common basic education to those traditional and local educational systems, rather than simply deny those traditional and local educational systems and try to familiarize common basic education to African societies.
Based on the results and discussions of this 3 fiscal years, this study has made a small contribution not only to the field of anthropology and African studies, but also to the studies concerning with "human security' as well as "human development".
