African Studies seem somewhat a contested territory and notion, depending
on who executes the power of definition. Such studies and their results are
at times questioned and ridiculed as exotic, at times underrated in terms of
their social relevance, but occasionally also over‐estimated with regard to
their political impact. By way of introducing the wide panorama, three
concrete examples from the last decade try to illustrate the diverse points.
Then follows a summary overview on parts of the recent debate concerning
the definition and role of African Studies, before a last part reflects on the
relevance of African Studies in a Nordic context.
