Minorités Identitaires Et Dialogue Interculturel Dans La Dynamique De La Mondialisation. Participation Africaine - Cultural Minorities and Intercultural Dialogue in the Dynamics of Globalization. African Participation (French version)

The aim of this study is to demonstrate that globalization as it proceeds today will only lead to a clash of civilizations and to the destruction of the fragile cultural identities. This leads to folds of the cultural minorities and the seeking of their recognition that can be expressed by violence. For globalization to succeed in its noble objective of integrating all cultures, it must proceed by inclusion instead of being exclusive. Intercultural dialogue has a central place in such a globalization to achieve peace between cultures. In this dialogue, the community paradigm of African cultures can serve as a model for approaching any culture.
