Résumé
Cet hommage essentialise l’engagement d’Ernest Wamba dia Wamba en faveur de la recherche engagée, dans ses contributions aux défis rencontrés dans la quête de démocratie populaire en Afrique, dans le projet d’émancipation. Retraçant son parcours depuis la communauté villageoise avec ses vestiges de palabre et de mbongi à l'école de Dar es Salaam, cet hommage met en évidence sa contribution à la compréhension de la philosophie africaine. Son immersion dans les expériences de la Conférence nationale souveraine et son incursion dans les luttes multidimensionnelles pour un nouveau modèle de politique distinguent Wamba des intellectuels qui pontifiaient sur les luttes contre le militarisme dans la sécurité des salles de séminaires. Cette célébration de sa vie fait écho à son appel à la redynamisation des cultures africaines dans le processus de restauration de l'humanité des africains.
