The role of the Syrian-Lebanese in the decolonization of West Africa (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786205885710)

Ulrich Le Vergor relates in this book a pivotal period in West Africa, between the yoke of colonialism and the independence of the young African nations. This research work focuses on the involvement of Syrian-Lebanese communities in the political domain, from the genesis of African political parties to the new independent states. The conciliation of the Syrian-Lebanese with the African elites was of course a certain stake for their future in West Africa. It was, of course, a crucial strategy for this community to continue to prosper, but by no means the only factor. This strategy was also the result of multiple currents stemming from anti-colonial movements, such as Pan-Arabism and Pan-Africanism. All these movements have influenced the Syrian-Lebanese opinion and vision of colonial and post-colonial societies, in which they represented a link.
