| Résumé : | An important feature of urbanization process in Africa is the proliferation of small and medium urban centers which constitute the major part of the urban population today. However in the literature these towns remain often in the shadow of studies devoted to the analysis of metropolis or small communities in the city. After a retrospective of urban anthropology's history, this paper outlines a global approach able to grasp secondary cities in a comparative perspective. |
