翻译后摘要：在这篇文章中，我跟踪不同的收敛，有时庆祝，往往是批判性的文献Afropolitanism作为一个分析的概念和模式的识别（非洲）世界的今天。超越狭隘的定义，往往是对立的，关于Afropolitanism的性质和意义的声明，我认为什么样的想法的Afropolitan可能有助于作为一个多义的能指在当前的非洲研究。然而，我对这一观点的支持是有条件的，鼓励学者们认识到学术界和公共知识分子用来促进、完善、发展和（尽管可能过于急切）将非洲政治主义作为非洲主义者工具包中的理论资源的知识飞行路线。
Abstract:In this article, I trace the variously convergent, sometimes celebratory, often critical literature on Afropolitanism as an analytic concept and mode of identification in the (African) world today. Moving beyond narrowly defined, and often antagonistic, statements concerning the nature and meaning of Afropolitanism, I consider what the idea of the Afropolitan may contribute as a polysemous signifier in current African studies. My endorsement of the idea is, however, qualified, encouraging scholars to be cognizant of the lines of intellectual flight that academics and public intellectuals have employed to promote, refine, develop, and (justifiably, though perhaps too eagerly) disparage Afropolitanism as a theoretical resource in the Africanist's toolkit.
