This working paper describes the methodological and theoretical approach of the research project "Southern African Democracy and the Utopia of a Rainbow Nation". Analysing the "history of the political" as suggested by Pierre Rosavalloin not only allows to improve historiography, but also to correct the distorting effect of colonial categories.
