Contributors to this issue of Nka complicate the key paradigms that
have shaped the theories and cultural productions of the African
diaspora by offering a critical and nuanced analysis of global
black consciousness. Literary scholars, historians, visual art
critics, and diaspora theorists explore the confluence between
theories of African diaspora and theories of decolonization. They
examine the intersections of visual art, literature, film, and
other cultural productions alongside the crosscurrents that shaped
the transnational flow of black consciousness. The contributors
revisit major black and Pan-African intellectual movements and
festivals in the 1960s and 1970s, including the Dakar Festival of
World Negro Arts held in Dakar in 1966, the Pan-African Cultural
Festival in 1969 in Algiers, and FESTAC 1977 in Lagos, Nigeria.
Throughout this issue, the contributors examine both the problem
and promise of mobilizing "blackness" as a unifying concept.
