A history of Pan-Africanism across movements and institutions

Hakim Adi traces Pan-Africanism as both an idea and a political movement, following its roots in the African diaspora and its later expression through the African Union. The history brings together individuals and organizations that have pursued unity among people of African origin as a basis for advancement and liberation. Its scope includes prominent twentieth-century political figures such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Kwame Nkrumah, and Muammar Gaddafi, alongside Pan-African cultural expression. The book offers a framework for understanding how a movement formed in diaspora became connected to an organization of African states that also recognizes the diaspora as its “sixth region.”

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking a historical overview of Pan-Africanism and its major figures and organizations.
  • Readers interested in African diaspora politics and the African Union.
  • Readers exploring the connections between political movements and cultural expression.
