J.-P. Chauveau — The Baule Share. Total Population and Ethnie Domination: An Historical Perspective.
Demographie estimates and censuses do not only provide quantified information and an opportunity to engage in statistical criticism, whether in the field of demog-raphy or of historiography. They can be subjected to a 'quantitative' analysis. With regard to the population figures ascribed to 'ethnie groups', they can provide insights on the real meaning of ethnie identity on the basis of the social history of a regional unit seen by census officiais as constituting a discrete entity. The case of the 'Baule' country and ethnie group presents an additional interest in that this population is, rightly or wrongly, considered as having a significant 'political' weight. Rather than its 'historical demography', its 'demographie history' reveals the weakness of conventional wisdom, which is essentially based upon an analysis in tribal terms, on this domination.
