The Falsity of Hegel’s Theses on Africa

Babacar Camara

Miami University-Ohio

Many Black scholars reject G.W.F. Hegel, for his Philosophy of History ignominiously and grotesquely denigrates Africans. This article first discusses Negritude’s detournement of Hegel’s theses and, from an African point of view, refutes two Hegelian theses: slavery and the state in Africa. Hegel contradicts itself, and the very dialectic analytical method that excluded Africa from universal history also fully reinstates it.

Key Words: Afro-Hegelianism • class structure • geo-climatic determinism • international commerce • Marxism • Negritude • slavery • states formation
