But the exact content and the way in which their intensity and B popularity has waxed and waned can be best understood by examining the specific historical contexts in which the ideas were embedded. Suchan analysis has been completely lacking in the current furor over "Afrocentricity" in its varied forms. Many oftheideas which are now consideredAfrocentric- though they were notlabeled a such at the time - also flourished at the turn of the nineteenth century during what appropriately has been described as the "nadir" of the Black experience in post-Civil War America.

  • The New Afro-American Nationalism
    THE NEW AFRO-AMERICAN NATIONALISM JOHN HENRIK CLARKE THE FEBRUARY, ig6i, riot in the gallery of the United Nations in protest against the foul and cowardly murder of Patrice Lu- mumba introduced the new Afro-American Nationalism. This na- tionalism is only a new manifestation of old grievances with deep roots. Nationalism, and a profound interest in Africa, actually started among Afro-Americans during the latter part of the nine- teenth century. Therefore, the new Afro-American nationalism is really not new. The demonstrators in the United Nations gallery interpreted the murder of Lumumba as the international lynching of a black man on the altar of colonialism and white supremacy. Suddenly, to them at least, Lumumba became Emmett Till and all of the other black victims of lynch law and the mob. The plight of the Africans still fighting to throw off the joke of colonialism and the plight of the Afro-Americans, still waiting for a rich, strong and boastful nation to redeem the promise of freedom and citizenship became one and the same. Through their action the U.N. dem- onstrators announced their awareness of the fact that they were far from being free and a long fight still lay ahead of them. The short and unhappy life of Patrice Lumumba announced the same thing about Africa. Belatedly, some American officials began to realize that the for- eign policy of this country will be affected if the causes of the long brooding dissatisfaction among Afro-Americans are not dealt with effectively. Others, quick to draft unfavorable conclusions and compound misconceptions, interpretated this action as meaning there was more Afro-American interest in African affairs than in 285 Reprinted from FREEDOMWAYS, Vol .
