Africology and the African Diaspora: Agency, Culture, and Change

內容簡介

內容簡介 Examining the African Diaspora in Africology, this book explores the fundamental issues involving the dispersion of Africans from antiquity to the current era. One of the most quoted living Africology scholars in the world, Molefi Kete Asante has partnered with scholars of African and Africana studies to highlight the theoretical underpinnings of the idea of diaspora, unpacking the ways in which the African Diaspora has continued to influence the world today. This volume clarifies the relationship of capoeira to the quilombos of the African Brazilian past by linking the rise of the dance form to the African continent, especially in Angola and Congo. It also demonstrates in a strikingly persistent and informative manner the African diaspora among the Siddi and Ceylon African populations. By examining the self-identification of African people in Colombia and the African Diaspora in Europe, the Pacific, and the Americas, this book centers African agency in the Diaspora, highlighting global connections that have received marginal attention.
