Routledge Handbook of Pan-Africanism

"Edited by Rabaka (Univ. of Colorado, Boulder), this scholarly handbook provides a dynamic view of Pan-Africanism by exploring the Pan-African idea, movement, and its scholarship from international, intersectional, and interdisciplinary perspectives. Divided into seven parts, this reference offers researchers a complete and current overview of the origins, theories, literature, philosophical, and artistic influences that have shaped Pan-Africanism, focusing on both continental and diaspora African cultures, history, economics, and political and social movements. The handbook's 36 chapters, authored by expert and emerging scholars in the field, offer researchers an impressive range of scholarly yet accessible introductions to current and historic topics that include "African Feminism," "LGBTQI+ People in Africa," "Hip Hop and Pan-Africanism," "The politics of Pan Africanism," and decolonization, among others. The handbook's detailed coverage will provide undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers with a welcome array of scholarly voices to explain the evolution, importance, and future of Pan-Africanism. This text will be a valuable addition to any academic library collection supporting such disciplines as African, African American, and Caribbean studies; history; literature; music; political science; queer studies; and women and gender studies." --L.
