This article provides an excellent framework for observing ethnic social and political functions of contemporary African countries. It is based on the current historical background and colonial experience. I will explain the colonial development of social and political stratification that attempts to control economic resources, leading to the role of African race, reflecting the development of this paradigm. This article is very familiar and rich in insights and I consider ethnic relations in sub-Saharan Africa in the context of social structure and historical reality. The author examines various correspondences to racial differences in socio-political organizations and explores potential racial identity and relationship complexity.

Recent studies have shown that modern African races are social components of the colonial period and respond to colonialist social, economic, cultural and political forces through pre-colonial society ing. Ethnicity is a product of a continuous historical process, always based on the past, and always in creation, always new and old. The foundations of colonial countries are based on colonial relationships with customers by incorporating ethnically defined administrative units related to the population of that area with alliances with local "adults" is. The European hypothesis of neat, boundary and culturally homogeneous "tribe", classification, classification and enumeration of the subject group, and bureaucratic concern of missionaries and anthropologists further strengthens this . Especially the race is the creation of the elite trying to maintain the foundation of modern times.
