Literary and Sociopolitical Writings of the Black Diaspora in the
Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries traces the historiography of
literary and sociopolitical movements of the Black Diaspora in the
writings of key political figures. It comparatively and
dialogically examines such movements as Pan-Africanism, Garveyism,
Indigenisme, New Negro Renaissance, Negritude, and Afrocriollo. To
study the key ideologies that emerged as collective black thought
within the Diaspora, particular attention is given to the
philosophies of Black Nationalism, Black Internationalism, and
Universal Humanism. Each leader and writer helped establish new
dimensions to evolving movements; thus, the text discerns the
temporal, spatial, and conceptual development of each literary and
sociopolitical movement. To probe the comparative and transnational
trajectories of the movements while concurrently examining the
geopolitical distinctions, the text focuses on leaders who
psychologically, culturally, and/or physically traveled throughout
Africa, the Americas, and Europe, and whose ideas were disseminated
and influenced a number of contemporaries and successors. Such
approach dismantles geographic, language, and generation barriers,
for a comprehensive analysis. Indeed, it was through the works
transmitted from one generation to the next that leaders learned
the lessons of history, particularly the lessons of organizational
strategies, which are indispensable to sustained and successful
liberation movements.
The Intellectual Roots of Contemporary Black Thought examines the
ways in which the intellectual production of notable historical
figures of Africa Diasporan Thought has shaped, and continues to
shape, social and political discourses in relation to peoples of
African descent. With an internationalist approach, this volume
places the philosophies of intellectuals and activists from
different regions in cross-generational dialogues. The work studies
seminal publications from the 1700s to the late 1800s, including
monographs, manifestos, speeches, and letters, analyzing the
subsequent influence of such publications on the works of later
thinkers and scholars of the 1900s. Hinged in qualitative and
critical analysis, it investigates the extent to which the
intellectual works of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have
influenced education and institutions over time, scrutinizing the
multifaceted contemporary outcomes of historical practices through
the theories of historical knowledge. The excerpts and translations
in the text engage readers in informed and meaningful interactions,
with the philosophies of liberation, reparation, and
rehabilitation. This book contributes to the fields of intellectual
historiography, human rights, political philosophy, social thought,
and critical race theory and will be of interest to students and
scholars of history, politics, and philosophy.
