Será Simão Toko um profeta? Uma leitura antropológica

Abstract

Simão Toko is one of the important Historic Figures of the History of the Libertation of African People. Between 1949-1950 He launched His ideology concerning the Cultural and Financial Libertation as the base of any emancipation. In the same time, His religious movement (tokoism) pretended the Independence of all Africa and prophetized several facts nowadays verified. Our discussion begins with one question and we try to respond throught theories from Sociology and Anthropology of Religion. In other side, we present the panorama where a Tokoist theology might construct some Culture of Peace among Angolan People, after several years of war and Culture of War. The aim of this reflexion is to invite Angolan academics to begin to make question about the utility of the endongenous practices and knowledges fixing their social problems. A Tokoism is, as social thinking, some tool instrumentalizing the Culture of Peace among Angolan People. It represents, also, the way to think about other paradigms of dialogue facing some social problems of the globalization.
