Résumé
Cette contribution se penche sur le thème majeur de l'identité post coloniale des nations de l'Afrique de l'Est, et porte particulièrement sur l'expérience asiatique dans cette parie de l'Afrique. Elle tente d'étudier la dichotomie entre les notions de citoyenneté et d'origine (identitaire), en ce quiconcerne les Asiatiques d'Afrique de l'Est. Cet article affirme que les notions d'origine et de race sont considérées comme des marqueurs identitaires plus importants que la citoyenneté, en Afrique de l'Est post coloniale. Ce fait continue de remettre en cause les tentatives de construction d'une société multiraciale/ multiculturelle. L'article décrit, entre autres, les pratiques coloniales britanniques, dont la construction d'une société à trois niveaux, au sein de laquelle les Blancs figuraient en première position, suivis des Indiens, et enfin, des Africains, qui occupaient une position subalterne; ceci ajoutait à la complexité de la structure sociale et exacerbait la situation conflictuelle. Cette contribution étudie les différentes manières dont les conflits autour de la citoyenneté et des origines ont influencé les politiques et déclarations sur l'identité asiatique en Afrique de l'Est.
