This edited collection comprises an original and activist group of
contributions on that much maligned figure, the Afropolitan. The
contributors do not aim to define or fix the term anew; the reboot
is, instead, the beginnings of an activist scholarly agenda in
which 'the Afropolitan' is reimagined to include the stealthy
figure crossing the Mediterranean by boat, and the Somali
shopkeeper in a South African township. In their pieces included
here, the authors insist on the need to ask questions about the
inclusion of such globally mobile Africans in any theorisations of
the transnational circuits we call Afropolitan. This collection,
from some of the foremost voices on Afropolitanism, invigorates
anew the debate, and reboots understandings of who the Afropolitan
is, the many places he calls his origin, and the multiple places
she comes to call home in the world. The chapters in this book were
originally published in the Journal of African Cultural Studies.
