    Abdias Nascimento E O Surgimento De Um Pan-Africanismo Contemporâneo Global Moore, Carlos Wedderburn

    Abdias Nascimento e o surgimento de um pan-africanismo contemporâneo global Moore, Carlos Wedderburn Meu primeiro encontro com Abdias do Nascimento, amigo e companheiro intelectual há quatro décadas, aconteceu em Havana, em 1961, quando a revolução cubana ainda não havia completado três anos de existência. Eu tinha 19 anos, Abdias, 47. Para mim, esse encontro significou o descobrimento do mundo negro da América Latina. Para ele, essa visita a Cuba abria uma interrogação quanto aos métodos que se deveriam empregar para vencer quatro séculos de racismo surgido da escravidão. E se me atrevo a prefaciar este primeiro volume de suas Obras, é apenas porque no tempo dessa nossa longa e intensa amizade forjou-se uma parceria política na qual invariavelmente participamos de ações conjuntas no Caribe, na América do Norte e no Continente Africano. As duas obras aqui apresentadas tratam de eventos acontecidos no período de seu exílio político (1968-1981) e dos quais fui testemunha. É, portanto, a partir dessa posição de amigo, de companheiro intelectual e de testemunha que prefacio este volume, sabendo que deste modo assumo uma pesada responsabilidade crítica tanto para com os meus contemporâneos quanto em relação às gerações vindouras. Duas obras compõem este volume. O traço que as une é o fato de os acontecimentos narrados com precisão de jornalista em Sitiado em Lagos decorrerem diretamente das colocações políticas e da leitura sócio-histórica sobre a natureza da questão racial no Brasil que se encontram sintetizadas em O genocídio do negro brasileiro. Essas obras foram escritas da forma que caracteriza o discurso "nascimentista" - de modo direto, didático, e num tom forte, à maneira de um grito.

This volume represents the collaborative efforts between students and CSU, Chico’s dedicated faculty. The papers presented here are a small sampling of the student work done at Chico, but they highlight the diversity and the value of historical inquiry. For many of the authors in this volume seeing their work published is a new experience, while others are a familiar name to this journal. In either case, their work is appreciated and it is both my honor and that of this year’s editorial board, to highlight their writing. This volume was made possible through the continued enthusiasm and support for student work on the behalf of the entire history department. I would also like to specifically thank Dr. Stephen Lewis for his advice and support throughout this process. Dr. Laird Easton for his dedication to The Chico Historian. Dr. Jason Nice and Dr. Jessica Clark for their constant support to students. Professor John Boyle for his continuing support. Claudia Beaty for the million little things she has done to assist this journal. Finally, I would like to thank my editorial board for their hard work throughout this semester.

That nomination is a tribute to seven decades of struggle for the recognition of the right of the black people of Brazil to enjoy all of the fruits of democracy, in a land where they have always suffered discrimination and social neglect. But I must underscore here that I am speaking from a position of first-hand knowledge regarding the great human qualities and struggles of Nascimento, whom I first met forty-nine years ago, in 1961, in Havana, Cuba. In that long stretch, we have been close friends and partners in our respective struggles on behalf of the civil rights of the black populations of our countries - Brazil, in his case, Cuba, in mine. Human and Civil Rights Champion Everyone in Brazil knows that for seven decades, Nascimento´s voice has always been in the forefront of those that were raised to denounce the socio-racial iniquities prevalent in the Republic of Brazil.

Michael Elavsky Associate Professor Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee James Ford Risley Professor/Head of Department of Journalism John S. Nichols Professor Emeritus of Communications and International Affairs Solsiree Del Moral Associate Professor Marie Hardin Associate Dean/Professor, Journalism Head of the College of Communications *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT During the early 1960s, the Cuban Revolution was creating a new country based on anti- colonial revolutionary principles. Simultaneously, Robert F. Williams and his wife Mabel R. Williams preoccupied themselves with broadcasting Radio Free Dixie, a radio program that aired from Cuba’s Radio Progreso in Havana, Cuba, to spread their messages of anti-imperialism and self-defense to parts of the Jim Crow South and North. This dissertation, therefore, aims to connect the Cuban Revolution to the Black Power Movement in the United States by positioning Radio Free Dixie at the center of a historical moment that intersected the Cold War and black struggle. Such a story is significant because it historicizes previous literature on transnationalism and transnational media and also contributes to recent scholarly conversations that have connected global politics to the United States Civil Rights and Black Power movements of the 1960s.

    Africa and Its Diaspora in America Since 1900, Continuity and Change1

    African and Asian Studies A A S African and Asian Studies 7 (2008) 259-288 www.brill.nl/aas A Matter of Identity: Africa and Its Diaspora in America Since 1900, Continuity and Change1 Godfrey N. Uzoigwe, D. Phil., Oxon Professor of History, 203 Williamsburg Drive, Starkville, MS 39759, USA E-Mail: [email protected] Abstract Using Africa and its Diaspora in America as a paradigm, this article looks at the triple manifesta- tions of consciousness in the dialectic of relationships between the two groups since 1900, and notices both continuity and change that can be traced back to the 1700s. In Africa, this con- sciousness is reflected in the conflicting demands of continental Pan-Africanism or Mega-Nation- alism, Racial or Black Pan-Africanism (in a multi-racial continent), and Mezzo-nationalism of the continent’s present multi-nation states. In America it also has always had three faces (and not two as DuBois said) – American, Black-American and African. Studying these complex relationships that often contradicted one another and cut across class and ideological lines is a difficult and frustrating task. Th e article therefore suggests that a more rewarding effort is to focus attention on such issues as cultivating mutual respect, stressing common historico-cultral heritage, empha- sizing economic cooperation, and putting in place coordinated, effective political action between the groups that hopefully will lead to their solidarity and empowerment in the 21st century. Th e African Union should assume the initiative of constructing a more relevant and realistic Pan- African ideology based along the lines sketched above to achieve this goal.

Hailing from the former Dutch colony of West Papua, the Melanesian activist could easily pass for West African on the streets of Senegal. Tanggahma was the Foreign Minister of the Revolutionary Provisional Government of West Papua New Guinea (RPG), which was embroiled in a bitter armed conict against Indonesian colonialism. With blood, iron, and re, the Indonesian government claimed that it was historically and ethnically entitled to West Papua (Irian Jaya). In contrast, the RPG adamantly defended its sovereignty as an Oceanic (Pacic) people of African descent.1 From Hollandia, Amsterdam, Dakar, and New York, West Papuan activists garnered support throughout the Black Diaspora. With the political and nancial backing of Senegalese President Léopold Senghor, Tanggahma established a RPG coordinating ofce in Dakar in .
