The present article doesn't has the pretension to be understood as a socio-anthropological study about the political parties in Africa; alternatively, it essays to synthesise a proposal of «state of the art» and of critical analysis of what it is possible to empirically find on the «reality». The disciplinary lenses used to achieve this goal were heterodox, although centred on Sociology, Political Science and Anthropology. This was essentially a methodological option given the diversity of authors consulted (true vehicles of information and knowledge) and the effort to delimitate a study object that demanded an epistemic cartography built with an elevated scale, although illustrated, when possible, by real, located and contextualized pictures. These methodological constraints were imposed by the study object itself, given its geographical dimension (all the sub-Saharan Africa) and its temporal length (the XXth century, understood as a timeline of colonization-decolonization-post colonization-independences).
