Description

Examining the African Diaspora in Africology, this book explores the fundamental issues involving the dispersion of Africans from antiquity to the current era. This book discusses the theoretical underpinnings of the idea of diaspora and unpacks ways the African Diaspora has influenced various parts of the world. It uses an Africological discursive framework grounded on the principles of agency, location, and cultural migration to examine diasporic identities in South America, the Caribbean, Asia, and Europe, with attention to identity and culture in major destinations such as Mexico and Brazil. It 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. The volume demonstrates in a strikingly persistent and informative manner the African diaspora among the Siddi and Ceylon African populations. It unpacks self-identification of African people in Colombia and examines the African Diaspora in Europe, the Pacific, and the Americas. This volume centers African agency in the Diaspora and highlights global connections that have received marginal attention. This volume highlights new aspects of African Diaspora studies based upon the groundbreaking work of Afrocentric scholars since the 1980s. It represents a critical advance in the theorizing about the African Diaspora.
