  • The Historical Aspects of Pan-Africanism a Personal Chronicle
    RAYFORD W.LOGAN Professor of History, Howard University The Historical Aspects of Pan-Africanism A Personal Chronicle The history of Pan-Africanism as a movement to encourage mutual assistance and understanding among the peoples of Africa and of African descent goes back to the beginning of the twentieth century, but it was only after World War I-that calamitous folly of the so-called superior races-that the movement as a whole began to have the ultimate aim of some form of self-government for African peoples. The credit for con- ceiving the idea of the Pan-African Conference that met in London in July, 1900, belongs to H. Sylvester Williams, a young West Indian lawyer. Among his aims were to bring peoples of African descent throughout the world into closer touch with one another and to establish friendlier rela- tions between the Caucasian and African races. That he did not envision self-government or independence in Africa is evident from another of his stated objectives, namely, "to start a movement looking forward to the securing to all African races living in civilized countries their full rights and to promote their business interests." (my italics) It was William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, as Chairman of the Con- ference's Committee on Address to the Nations of the World, who trans- formed Williams's limited conception of Pan-Africanism into a movement for self-government or independence for African peoples. He urged : "Let the British Nation, the first modern champion of Negro freedom, hasten to . give, as soon as practicable, the rights of responsible government to the Black Colonies of Africa and the West Indies." Du Bois said noth- ing about the Spanish and Portuguese colonies, and he did not explicitly demand "responsible government" for the German and French colonies.

  • 1946 Victoria J. Collis Submitted In
    Anxious Records: Race, Imperial Belonging, and the Black Literary Imagination, 1900 – 1946 Victoria J. Collis Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Victoria J. Collis All rights reserved ABSTRACT Anxious Records: Race, Imperial Belonging, and the Black Literary Imagination, 1900 – 1946 Victoria J. Collis This dissertation excavates the print and archive culture of diasporic and continental Africans who forged a community in Cape Town between 1900 and 1946. Although the writers I consider write after the Victorian era, I use the term “black Victorian” to preserve their own political investments in a late nineteenth-century understanding of liberal empire. With the abolition of slavery in 1834 across the British Empire and the Cape Colony’s qualified nonracial franchise of 1853, Cape Town, and District Six in particular, took on new significance in black radicalism. By writing periodicals, pamphlets and autobiographies, black Victorians hoped to write themselves into the culture of empire. These recovered texts read uncannily, unsettling the construction of official archives as well as contemporary canons of South African, African and diasporic African literatures. By turning to the traffic of ideas between Africa and its diaspora in Cape Town, this dissertation recovers a vision of (black) modernity that had not yet succumbed to the formulations of anti-imperial nationalisms.

  • Pan-African Conferences, 1900-1953: What Did ‘Pan-Africanism’ Mean?
    Pan-African Conferences, 1900-1953: What Did ‘Pan-Africanism’ Mean? by Marika Sherwood Marika Sherwood is a foundingr member of the Black & Asian Studies Association and editor of the BASA Newsletter . She is the author of numerous books and articles on the history of Black peoples in the UK, as well as on education, and she is also an honorary senior research fellow at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London Abstract The concerns of Pan-Africanists, their philosophies and politics naturally depended on the times they were living in. Nevertheless the call for unity, whether overt or implied has been there for well over a century. This need was perhaps easier to espouse when the proposal was for unity against the imperialist oppressors. Once this was obtained (though it is quite reasonable to argue that it is still there, in new forms), the issue became – and is - far more complex and complicated. Another complication that arose with independence is the whole issue of ‘nationalism’. After all, the countries of Africa were created in Berlin by Europeans who ignored existing empires/kingdoms/polities, languages, traditions, religions, cultures: how is a new nation to be created from the plethora of many people’s whose histories vis-à-vis each other were often ‘problematic’? Or, in the name of African unity, should the boundaries be withdrawn? But then how would you administer – and whom? This paper will examine the meaning of ‘pan-Africanism’ as espoused at the at the 1900 and 1945 Pan-African Conference, and by the West African National Secretariat, Kwame Nkrumah and George Padmore, until and including pan-African conference in Kumasi in 1953.

  • A Comparative Analysis of the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement
    Black Social Movements Past and Present: A Comparative Analysis of the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement by J. Vern Cromartie, Ed.D. [email protected] Professor of Sociology, Chair, Sociology Department Contra Costa College, San Pablo, California Abstract This paper focuses on Black social movements past and present with special reference to the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement. It examines the Black Arts Movement as a social movement that emerged during the mid-1960s and lasted until the mid-1970s. It also examines the Hip Hop Movement as a social movement that emerged during the early 1970s and has lasted to the present. This paper presents a comparative analysis of both social movements and identifies their goals, ideologies, organization and status systems, and tactics. The comparative analysis also includes an examination of both movements’ internal development in the form of the incipient phase, organizational phase, and stable phase. Likewise, the comparative analysis includes an examination of both movements’ external development in the form of innovation, selection, and integration. In addition, this paper addresses some implications of the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement as social movements. In this study, a mixed methods approach has been employed, including the case study, participant observation, and a qualitative survey. The research techniques include direct observation, interviews with people involved in the two movements, and content analysis of primary and secondary source documents. Keywords: Black Arts Movement, Hip Hop Movement, social movement, race, culture. 77 Africology: The Journal of Pan African Studies, vol.11, no.6, April 2018 Introduction During the 20th century in the United States of America (USA), Black people developed a host of social movements to address social problems they faced.

  • Ubuntu: Revisiting an Endangered African Philosophy in Quest of a Pan-Africanist Revolutionary Ideology
    genealogy Article Ubuntu: Revisiting an Endangered African Philosophy in Quest of a Pan-Africanist Revolutionary Ideology Temitope Fagunwa Department of History and International Studies, Osun State University, Osogbo 4494, Nigeria; [email protected]; Tel.: +234-806-825-6122 Received: 26 June 2019; Accepted: 29 July 2019; Published: 3 August 2019 Abstract: In the final analysis, Kwame Nkrumah advanced that pan-Africanism must be about the unity of African masses under socialist governments. However, the concept of pan-Africanism in recent times has been misconstrued in the most treacherous manner. On one hand, the concept has been reduced to a “dansiki-wearing” competition by a layer of cultural nationalists; and on the other hand, it has been reduced to a “Black capitalism” bourgeois agenda. In spite of the apparent failures of capitalism, bourgeois economists like Nigeria’s Tony Elumelu, have been peddling a purported refined capitalist system under the ambiance of “Africapitalism”, as a stimulant for economic growth and development in Africa. Under the pretense of a “pan-African” agenda, bourgeois economists have been touting this neoliberal agenda across the continent and beyond, for self-serving purposes. The danger this portends is the detachment of pan-Africanism from its socialist agenda. Indeed, existing works on African personality have showed the nexus between a pre-colonial communal relationship and socialism. The Sotho epistemology, Ubuntu, is undoubtedly a product of this ancient communal relationship. Ubuntu expresses the humanistic tendencies that are fast going into extinction in today’s individualistic society. Ultimately, the withering of Ubuntu is not unconnected to the dominance of capitalism.

  • The Quest for Black Power: Aluta Continuia
    THE QUEST FOR BLACK POWER: ALUTA CONTINUIA Compiled and Edited by Marc Imhotep Cray, M.D. (aka RBG Street Scholar) Essays on the History of Black Nationalism / Pan-Afrikanism Preface It is quite clear that Afrikan people in America continue to be miseducated. This problem is discussed in a variety of ways in conversations every day in our communities throughout America. The time is ripe to heed the long-standing, and most often overlooked, calls for Afrikan Unity, Cultural Development, Education and Social Transformation. Such is what this book most fundamentally represents. Contrary to the prevailing, misinformed assumptions, RBG (Black Nationalism / Pan- Afrikanism) as an ideology, interaction and academic process is not a rabid assertion of Black supremacy. Unlike white Nationalism and American patriotism, RBG (Black Nationalism / Pan-Afrikanism) and its proponents do not seek to humiliate, exploit, or oppress any person or people. Rather, RBG / (Black Nationalism / Pan-Afrikanism) is a positive affirmation of the cultural, political, social, economic and moral identity and concerns of African people. In its most rudimentary forms, it reacts to the brutally violent and repressive conditions under which African people have and continue to live. White supremacy / racism create an environment where whites are necessarily viewed with suspicion, but we are not anti- white. We are Afrikan/ Black on purpose and Black folks must first and foremost be beholden to each other. The most basic expression of RBG (Black Nationalism/ Pan-Afrikanism ) thought is that Black / Afrikan people in America and throughout the diaspora are bound by the common history and experience of historical chattel and present day mental slavery, suffering and death under the boot heel of white supremacy / racism.
