  • L’éviction d’Alioune Diop du Deuxième Festival Mondial des Arts Négro-Africains (FESTAC), qui constitue l’un des événements les plus importants ayant marqué ce festival, ne se comprend que si l’on en étend le contexte au-delà du Nigéria. Pour cela, il faut aussi élargir le champ d’investigation de la recherche archivistique. C’est dans cette mesure que se révèle l’importance des archives de l’UNESCO et de Présence Africaine, et qu’il apparaît que cette éviction est d’abord un événement indépendant qui a ses propres conséquences sur le plan historique.

  • Summary

    This chapter details the seminal influence of Senegalese Catholic intellectual Alioune Diop on the Catholic Church between the 1940s and 1970s. A leading figure in the negritude movement who championed independence for Europe’s African colonies, Diop was also a devout Catholic who called on the Church to repudiate Eurocentrism and live up to its claims to be universal and embrace all peoples. He insisted that the Church had an important role to play in defending vulnerable peoples and promoting development in the “Third World.” Diop’s advocacy had a great impact during the papacies of John XXIII and Paul VI and contributed to the reorientation of the Catholic Church during and after the Second Vatican Council.
