Ki-Zerbo as an Historian has published a number of books with endogenous development as the central theme:1964 : Le Monde africain noir (Paris, Hatier) ; 1972 : Histoire de l’Afrique noire (Paris, Hatier) ;1991 : Histoire générale de l’Afrique ;2003 : A quand l'Afrique, collaboration with René Holenstein (Editions de l’Aube, prix RFI Témoin du monde 2004) ;2005 : Afrique Noire, with Didier Ruef ( Infolio éditions) In addition, Ki Zerbo was an historian and politician engaged. As illustrated, Hollenstein (2006), Ki-Zerbo extended his fights internationally to make people recognize slavery as a humanity crime and Africa should get a refund for that. He tried to mix science and political actions. Ki-Zerbo sums his philosophy up in the following quote : “The Africa which the world needs is a continent able to stand up, to walk on its own feet… it is an Africa conscious of its own past and able to keep on reinvesting this past into its present and future.”
