Abstract

African Nationalism was a multifaceted  political movement that has had different origins, developments  and outgoings considering the complexity of cultures, religions,  natural environments and ethnicities of this immense continent.  It’s  of course inappropiate to talk about “African Nationalism”, as an identical  and common phenomenon that brought to the independence from Colonialism in each state. As  for Nationalism in  Europe,  it had its own specificity  in at least the main big areas of North, West,  East and South of Africa.
