摘要
印度与肯尼亚、乌干达和坦桑尼亚等东非国家存在着漫长的历史联系,特别是19世纪末以来,印度人随着英国殖民者大量涌入东非地区。在东非殖民地种族体系之中,印度人扮演着"中间人"角色,构成了欧洲人和非洲人之间的缓冲力量,同时遭受着欧洲人和非洲人的排斥和仇视。东非国家独立初期,非洲化政策对于印度人群体发展造成严重冲击,大批印度人离开东非地区,印度人群体发展缓慢。冷战结束以来,印度人迎来较为宽松的发展环境,但是伴随着政治民主化进程而出现的土著话语也对印度人群体产生较大冲击。总体而言,印度人在当今东非社会和经济生活中仍然扮演着重要角色,逐渐为东非社会所包容和接纳。
Historically, India has such as Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. a long standing connection with East African countries Particularly since the 1890s, East Africa has seen a large influx of Indian emigrants. In the tripartite racial system in East Africa, Indians played the role of ＂ middlemen minority＂ in colonial society, as the buffering power between the Europeans and the Africans, and yet experienced hostility from both aforementioned groups. In the 1960s at the early stage of their independence, East African countries undertook Africanization policy, which led to enormous exodus of Indians from East Africa. Since the end of Cold War, political democratization and favorable environment for the development economic liberalization have provided a more of Indian communities. Nevertheless, the autochthony discourse that arose during the process of political democratization also had significant impact on the Indians in East Africa. To sum up, the Indian people still play an important role in East African social and economic life, as they are being gradually accepted by the local society.
