内容提要： 虽然早在公元前1世纪就有印裔移民抵达非洲，但印裔群体在非洲的政治参与却发轫于殖民主义时期。在19世纪中叶到20世纪中叶期间，非洲印裔群体首先以“中间人”的身份充当了英国殖民主义的政治附庸。从20世纪后半叶开始，非洲各国纷纷独立，泛非主义思潮崛起，在排外思想的影响下印裔群体逐渐成为非洲政治社会的“边缘者”，被排斥在主流政治社会之外。21世纪以来，在一系列内外因合力的影响之下，印裔群体又以“建设者”的身份回归到非洲，在政治参与方面呈现出积极主动多元化的特点。目前，就非洲印裔群体政治参与发展态势而言，其在非洲影响力必将会进一步加强。

Abstract： Although Indian immigrants arrived in Africa as early as the 15t century BC, the political participation of the Indian diaspora in Africa only began during the colonial period. Between the mid-19t century and the mid-20tcentury,the Indian diaspora in Africa first acted as "intermediaries" or served as political vassals of British colonialism. From the second half of the 20t century,African countries became independent and the pan-Africanism rose. Under the influence of xenophobia, the Indian diaspora gradually became “marginalized” in African political society and were excluded from the mainstream politics. Since the beginning of the 215t century, under the influence of a series of internal and external factors, the Indian diaspora have returned to Africa as "builders",showingactive and diversified characteristics in political participation. At present, in terms of the development trend of political participation of the Indian diaspora, their influence in Africa will be further strengthened.
