Abstract
Based on a bibliographical discussion and using historical criteria, this text proposes a reflection on African sociology, taking into account the process of formation, development, professionalization and affirmation of this social science in Africa. The text highlights three perspectives for the study and teaching of African sociology and emphasizes the role of the practice of African sociology by African sociologists, as well as by professionals involved in the process of teaching and learning sociology in Africa, as a way to reduce the effects of academic dependence and to resist the Eurocentrism and academic imperialism of the current geopolitics of knowledge production.
