Pan-Africanism: A History

By Hakim Adi
 
Adebajo says: "Written by a Nigerian-British historian, this 2018 book offers a concise and comprehensive history of a movement and ideology that emerged in the US and the Caribbean in the eighteenth century in response to the indignities of five centuries of European slavery and imperialism. While Pan-Africanism had many strains across the Caribbean, the Americas, Europe, and Africa – which Adi examines in his book – the basic view was that unity among all Africans, including the diaspora, was the key to their liberation and advancement. Adi discusses some of the most prominent figures in the Pan-African Pantheon: Olaudah Equiano, Ottobah Cugoano, Prince Hall, Martin Delaney, Edward Blyden, Marcus Garvey, Henry Sylvester Williams, W.E. B. du Bois, George Padmore, Amilcar Cabral, Agostinho Neto, Léopold Senghor, Aimé Césaire, and Stokely Carmichael. Notably, he also highlights influential women Pan-Africanists: Amy Ashwood Garvey, Any Jacques Garvey, Alice Kinloch, Catherine Impey, Jane Cobden Unwin, and Jane and Paulette Nardal."

-------------------------------------

The first survey of the Pan-African movement this century, this book provides a history of the individuals and organisations that have sought the unity of all those of African origin as the basis for advancement and liberation. Initially an idea and movement that took root among the African Diaspora, in more recent times Pan-Africanism has been embodied in the African Union, the organisation of African states which includes the entire African Diaspora as its 'sixth region'.

Hakim Adi covers many of the key political figures of the 20th century, including Du Bois, Garvey, Malcolm X, Nkrumah and Gaddafi, as well as Pan-African culture expression from Négritude to the wearing of the Afro hair style and the music of Bob Marley.
