The African Diaspora
Please, define the African Diaspora. Also, consider the political forces/dynamics behind its emergence as a global phenomenon. How did the idea of West/Europe emerge and how is it related to the idea of Africa and Global Blackness? What does it mean to belong to the African Diaspora (as a global community) in light of the very diverse experiences of black people around the globe? Who does belong to the African Diaspora, anyway? These questions are merely a guide to your reflection. Instead of responding to each one as a Q & A, please see them as an invitation to focus on these aspects of the readings. Your assignment is a 500-word entry in which you identify the main arguments, draw connections with previous readings, and pose some questions. You are expected to engage with the authors on their terms, not yours! Specifics: one-page, single-spaced, times new roman 12
