Overview
The 145 essays in this comprehensive, concise, and highly readable book represent three decades of Adekeye Adebajo’s reflections and writing on the history, regional integration, politics, military rule, foreign policy, international relations, geo-politics, culture, film, sports, and travel of Africa and its diaspora. The legacies of this Black Atlantic in the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean are examined panoramically, as Africa’s independence struggles from the 1950s were also mirrored by similar battles in the Caribbean and America’s civil rights struggle. The volume further assesses the world beyond global Africa from a Pan-African perspective. This book thus seeks to capture the zeitgeist of the post-apartheid era after the five-century quest for liberation from the twin scourges of the European-led transatlantic slavery and colonialism. The essays ultimately encapsulate Pan-African efforts to break the chains of Western slavery and colonial exploitation, and to assert global Africa’s own proud histories, cultures, and identities.
