For about one hundred years, Pan-Africanism-as a social, cultural,
economic, political, and philosophical idea-thrived. Towards the
tail-end of the twentieth century, however, it waned. But in more
recent times, there has been noticeable resurgence. And as we
approach the second decade of the twenty-first century, there are
indications of significant transformations vis-a-vis the role and
place of Pan-Africanism and Pan-Africanists. Consequently, this
book offers a new, further, and better understanding of
Pan-Africanism-not just from the traditional, African, and African
American points of view, but also from a global perspective. It
does so by offering an analysis of its early years in terms of the
personalities, ideas, and conferences that shaped it; it also
examines many of the factors that brought about its decline-and its
eventual rebirth. Contributing to this seminal work are scholars of
different but complementary styles and intellect, who deviate from
the more traditional or obvious approaches. For instance, one of
the chapters explores Pan-Africanism from the geographic
perspective, while another examines the role and place of women in
the Pan-African movement. There are also voices that advance the
conversation from the regional and continental viewpoint-hence
chapters that investigate the status of Pan-Africanism in Latin
America, in the Caribbean, and Islam and Pan-Africanism in the
modern world. Ethnonationalism and xenophobia are also part of the
treatise because, increasingly, these injurious phenomena are
reemerging in Africa's landscape and consciousness. In an
increasingly interdependent and interrelated world, this book also
suggests that Pan-Africanism will undergo a metamorphosis: problems
and challenges will be seen and tackled from the globalization and
global common perspective. Pan-Africanism in Modern Times goes
beyond the historicity of Pan-Africanism and examines the
challenges, concerns, and constraints it faces; and also examines
it from an inclusive perspective to have a broader understanding of
this phenomenon and its future trajectory.
