Abstract: E. Sibeud—The Birth of Africanist Ethnography in France Before 1914. This review of "Africanist ethnography" takes as date 1914, / e after three decades of colonial administration. Colonial administrators laid claim to this ethnography in order to legitimate their field knowledge. Organized in a semiprofessional, semiacademic network since 1900, they used their ethnographie knowledge for their social promotion. When the social sciences were redefined owing to both the criticism of a physical anthropology and the emergence of sociology around Durkheim, the field work undertaken by these administrators impelled ethnography.
