Identity Re-Creation in Global African Encounters - Paperback

by Fonkem Achankeng (Contribution by), Ezinwanyi E. Adam (Contribution by), Bifatife Olufemi Adeseye (Contribution by)

Identity Re-creation in Global African Encounters explores race, racial politics, and racial transformation in the context of Africa's encounters with non-African communities through various perspectives including oppression, racialization of ethnic difference, and identity deconstruction. While the contributors recognize that ethnicity has long been a staple analytical category of engagements between African and non-African communities, they present a holistic view of the continent and its diaspora through race outside of both colonial and neocolonial binaries, allowing for a more nuanced study of Africa and its diaspora.
