Résumé

La littérature sur la production de connaissances révèle que l’Afrique peut faire mieux par l’exploration et l’installation, dans son académie, d’idées lo-cales détachées de l’emprise occidentale. Cet article contribue à ce débat en explorant la place du savoir autochtone au sein de l’académie et les défis qui s’opposent à sa popularité sur le continent. En outre, l’article propose des manières d’harmoniser les connaissances orthodoxes autochtones et con- ventionnelles vers une production de connais ances plus pragmatique qui peut propulser le développement de l’Afrique.
