ABSTRACT

African intellectual traditions have much to offer social analysis, yet many historical African intellectuals remain obscured by history and peripheral to contemporary academic work. This paper turns to the writings of the prolific amaXhosa intellectual S.E.K. Mqhayi, exploring his social and political thought, and considering how his work can be taken as part of an African sociological tradition. Focusing on Mqhayi’s use of history and biography as both the method and site of social analysis, the paper shows how Mqhayi developed a powerful vantage point on social transformations in order to create knowledge for African people under colonialism. The piece closes with a consideration of how Mqhayi and other African intellectuals writing outside of the academy might be integrated into teaching and researching an African sociological tradition.

姆奎伊(SEK Mqhayi)与非洲社会分析:南非殖民地时期的非洲社会学思想

摘要

非洲知识分子的传统可以提供很多社会分析,但是许多历史悠久的非洲知识分子仍被历史和当代学术工作所包围。本文转向多产的amaXhosa知识分子SEK Mqhayi的著作,探讨他的社会和政治思想,并考虑如何将他的工作视为非洲社会学传统的一部分。本文着眼于Mqhayi使用历史和传记作为社会分析的方法和场所,展示了Mqhayi如何在社会变革中建立了强大的有利位置,以便在殖民主义下为非洲人民创造知识。文章最后考虑了Mqhayi和其他在学院之外写作的非洲知识分子如何融入教学和研究非洲社会学传统中。
