Résumé
H. Moniot—Social History. Social history, considered as a constructive synthesis of the various approaches to History, is a true sign of maturity in the discipline. African history is reaching this stage—has reached it for some time among Anglo-Saxon specialists—where the old opposition between the historian and the anthropologist ceases to be significant. Yet some traditional historians still suspect, in social history, a tendency to projective ethnocentrism. This tendency may manifest itself as well in denying the relevance of social history to Africa.
