Post-colonialism is the subject of debate. From Frantz Fanon to Marc Ferro, reflection opened on these relations of\ndomination which continue to be perpetuated. When it comes to beliefs, however, initiation rites and rites of passage are still\nperceived mainly as phenomena that are either folkloric or that stem from primitive societies.
