Abstract The ‘Africanization’ of science after decolonization was replete with dreams. Claims to Africa's place in the high-modern world, expectations of national technological and economic progress, and individual dreams of scientific discovery, professional development and fulfilled careers drove scientific work and lives. The term Africanization, coined by the colonizers, reproduced colonial notions of race but also stimulated the imagination of mid-twentieth-century African scientists, who hotly debated and enthusiastically embraced it. Half a century later, some dreams have failed, but many more remain unfulfilled. This article examines two reunions of Tanzanian and European science workers – in Amani in 2015 and in Cambridge in 2013 – who had worked together in the decades after Tanzania's independence at Amani Hill Research Station, then one of Africa's foremost laboratories for research on malaria and other tropical diseases. It explores ideas of good science and experiences of social differentiation, divergent dreams and persistent tensions – and the role of joking in remembering these.

记住非洲化：老年科学工作者之间关于永久承诺的两次对话

摘要 非殖民化后科学的“非洲化”充满了梦想。声称非洲在高度现代世界中的地位、对国家技术和经济进步的期望以及个人对科学发现、专业发展和职业发展的梦想推动了科学工作和生活。由殖民者创造的“非洲化”一词再现了殖民时期的种族概念，但也激发了 20 世纪中叶非洲科学家的想象力，他们对此进行了激烈的辩论和热情的拥护。半个世纪后，一些梦想已经落空，但更多的梦想仍未实现。本文考察了坦桑尼亚和欧洲科学工作者的两次重聚——2015 年在阿马尼和 2013 年在剑桥——他们在坦桑尼亚独立后的几十年里在阿马尼山研究站一起工作，然后是非洲最重要的疟疾和其他热带疾病研究实验室之一。它探讨了良好科学的思想和社会分化的经验、不同的梦想和持续的紧张局势——以及开玩笑在记住这些方面的作用。
