    Construction géohistorique du KwaZulu-Natal (Afrique du Sud). Par Fabrice Folio. Le 1 septembre 2007 Le KwaZulu-Natal est communément perçu en Afrique du Sud (Harrison, 1995) comme une province dotée d’une forte identité zouloue et à degré moindre indienne1. Au 19ème siècle, elle fut par ailleurs une colonie anglaise distincte des républiques boers (d’origine hollandaise) établies sur les hautes terres centrales2. Or la réalité historique donne à voir, sur le terrain, une situation plus complexe. Ainsi, les Boers, boutés hors de cette contrée, n’ont-ils pas fini, à force d’acharnement, par lui concéder quelques traits identitaires ? Les Métis, qui composent la portion congrue des statistiques locales, sont-ils réellement insignifiants dans son histoire mouvementée ? Les Zoulous, sous l’influence de Shaka, sont-ils parvenus, au faîte de leur impérialisme, à phagocyter l’ensemble des tribus bantoues alentours ? En somme, le KwaZulu-Natal affiche-t-il stricto sensu les traits identitaires qu’on lui prête ? Une analyse diachronique de cet espace administratif (figure 1) met en relief la présence de plusieurs acteurs importants moins connus dans l’histoire officielle. Or ces derniers, après s’être âprement disputés l’espace, demeurent bel et bien présents dans celui contemporain. De plus, elle donne à voir, sur un pas de temps long, les facteurs directs et indirects qui ont induit son tracé actuel. Nous tenterons ici d’effectuer un découpage du KwaZulu-Natal sur des bases géohistoriques, nous plaçant pour ce faire sous le patronage de F. Braudel, d’Y. Lacoste et des courants systémiques menés par des géographes stimulants tels que C.
