G. Nicolas — ~~Ethnie Entity and Ethnic Fractions as Categories within the Hausa Social System~~. Analysis of a peculiar system of social differenciation within a complex, heterogeneous and rapidly expanding society, the Hausa. While the Hausa society identifies itself as an 'ethnie entity' as against the neighbouring ethnie groups, those of its own members who corne originally from these neighbouring groups are classified into 'ethnie fractions' accord-ing to ancestral origin. However these fractions are part of the Hausa institutional pattern and their members do share the Hausa ethnie identity and value system. This framework imposes itself on every member of the Hausa society with the same strength and authority as the other social institutions, determining a set of behavioural and classificatory rules based on the concepts of integration and rejection. It cannot be explained according to the usual approach and its definition of the ethnie group as a homogeneous, closed system. The relevant approach leads to an analysis of the problems of ethnie particularism and cultural conversion so common in many contemporary societies—problems the Hausa seem to have solved in a harmonious way.
