Africa in Black Liberation Activism

<p>This book revisits and analyzes three of the most accomplished twentieth century Black Diaspora activists: Malcolm X (1925–1965) Stokely Carmichael (1941–1998) and Walter Rodney (1942–1980). All three began their careers in the Diaspora and later turned toward Africa. This became the foundation for developing and solidifying a global force that would advance the struggles of Africans and people of African descent in the Diaspora.</p><p>Adeleke engages and explores this “African-centered” discourse of resistance which informed the collective struggles of these three men. The book illuminates shared and unifying attributes as well as differences presenting these men as unified by a continuum of struggle against and resistance to shared historical and cultural challenges that transcended geographical spaces and historical times.</p><p>Africa in Black Liberation Activism will be of interest to scholars and students of African-American history African Studies and the African Diaspora.</p>
