- Summary
- "Migrating demonstrates how concepts of Pan-Africanism, which historically, were concerned with colonialism, racial identity, and African unity, extend the discussion of an Africa that includes the Caribbean, the Americas, and Europe. Indeed this book updates the definitions of Pan-Africanism by focusing especially on literary and cultural perspectives, with special reference to writers from Africa (North, South, East, West), the U.S. and the Caribbean, as well as arabophone, anglophone, francophone, lusophone, and Creole linguistic communities."--Jacket.
