Alors que Claude Lévi-Strauss, dès 1962, célébrait les savoirs autochtones, il aura fallu attendre trente ans pour que, en 1992, la Convention sur la diversité biologique de Rio reconnaisse officiellement, pour la première fois, l'importance des savoirs autochtones face aux grands défis écologiques. Quelle est la nature, quels sont les multiples régimes des savoirs traditionnels? Quels mondes peuvent-ils ouvrir, de par leur existence même, aux savoirs académiques? Telles sont les questions qu'il faut à présent se poser.

The continent of Africa is richly endowed with diverse cultures, a body of indigenous knowledge and technologies. These bodies of knowledge and technologies that are indeed embodied in the diverse African cultures are as old as humankind. From time immemorial, they have been used to solve socio-economic, political, health, and environmental problems, and to respond to the development needs of Africans. Yet with the advent of colonialism and Western scientism, these African cultures, knowledges, and technologies have been despised and relegated to the periphery, to the detriment of the self-reliant development of Africans. It is out of this observation and realisation that this book was born. The book is an exploration of the practical problems resulting from Africa's encounter with Euro-colonialism, a reflection of the nexus between indigenous knowledge, culture, and development, and indeed a call for the revival and reinstitution of indigenous knowledge, not as a challenge to Western science, but a complementary form of knowledge necessary to steer and promote sustainable development in Africa and beyond. This is a valuable book for policy makers, institutional planners, practitioners and students of social anthropology, education, political and social ecology, and development, African and heritage studies.
