概要	Abstract The current reality of marginalized nomadic communities (i.e., refugees, immigrants, and nomadic pastoralists) in Africa has been overlooked by both national and international concerns and discourses. Since the colonial period, national and international frameworks of intervention have mainly been applied without regard for the views of marginalized people, which were consequently submerged by superficial global narratives. Many universal concepts of Western origin (e.g., human rights, democracy, justice, governance, citizenship, humanitarianism, resilience) have undoubtedly been imposed on African communities without examining the marginalized nomads’ local circumstances, resulting in even more confusion, conflict, and chaos on the ground. The aim of this joint international workshop is to reconsider and recreate these Western universal concepts from the perspective of marginalized African nomads. First, it approaches the current complex reality of these communities with both field research evidence and the people’s opinions. Second, it attempts to recapture global narratives from the marginalized nomads’ perspective. This workshop is organized by mainly international and interdisciplinary researchers in area studies of Africa and representatives from the local communities. This workshop focuses on two typical Western concepts: “citizenship” and “humanitarianism.” These are the most important concepts for the marginalized African nomads, accounting for many accompanying discourses and affecting their daily lives. Most of the national and international interventions stemmed from a negative attitude towards the marginalized African nomads: “We have everything, they have nothing.” However, we do not presuppose that the universal concepts of “citizenship” or “humanitarianism” have never existed among African communities before and after intervention. Instead, we attempt to analyze and reveal how these critical concepts interrelate and intertwine the global and local contexts. The objective of this workshop is to open up the possibility of reframing universal concepts of Western origin from the people’s perspective and creating truly universal frameworks that include non-Western perspectives.
