Abstract

Based on an analysis of the history of ideas, this essay aims to investigate the similarities and distances between Pan-Africanism and Marxism in contemporary African intellectual thought. For that, it points out essential continuities and discontinuities of this relationship, from the investigation of intellectual trajectories and specific historical contexts. Finally, it reflects on the possible relevance of such critical traditions, taking into account the analysis previously established.
