It thus focusses on the historical background, definitions, concepts, racial identities, and the globality and diversity of the African diaspora including their common origin, culture, and political consciousness such as Pan-Africanism, the experience of the slave trade, and free migration across the world, colonialism and racism, and continued black marginalization and inequalities based on racial legacies and structures. |
