T. C. Weiskel—~~The Socio-Economie History of the Baule Peoples : Research Problems and Perspectives.~~ The pre-colonial history of the Baule peoples is difficult to reconstruct because of the lack of traditional documentary materials. Most formulations to date have depended heavily upon the oral traditions published initially by Maurice Delafosse in 1900. Recent anthropological and linguistic research suggests, however, that the themes of mass migration and military conquest which dominate these oral traditions may be mis-leading as a key to understanding the Baule past. A more flexible model which takes into account processes of linguistic expansion and socio-economic change is needed to understand the historical evolution of the pre-colonial Baule. A sketch chronology is presented, and several perspectives for future research are suggested. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
