ABSTRACT:
Kaba's rebellion (1916-1917) in Benin's political imagery. -- A national tradition, mainly created after 1972 in Benin and made up of "little traditions", is "redivided". Interpretations of history and images of identities take on importance at the local level, as part of a "production of locality" by, for example, political party leaders looking for a local constituency. The interpretations of a rebellion against French colonial authorities made in different historical periods and by different political actors are analyzed along with the major characteristics of folk imagery ("sombaization") in the area north of Atakora. Issues in the underway processes of democratization and decentralization seem closely tied to a whole series of rhetorical elements in politics. They are influenced by official state policies, the discursive strategies of intermediate actors (political party leaders, journalists, academics) and, too, by popular discourse.
