Continuing Perspectives on the Black Diaspora

<I>Continuing Perspectives on the Black Diaspora</I> is a response to a 1990 publication that studied the persistence and resilience of black (African) diasporic populations in the Caribbean Latin America North America and the United Kingdom. In that book the authors used the themes of persistence and resilience to interrogate the social processes and the coping repertoire of these diasporic populations. <BR /><BR />This volume investigates the often-overlooked African presence in Asia. Researchers sought to determine how many of these diasporic populations have fared in the context of political independence globalization / economic marginalization and the presence of ethnic conflict and institutional racism even with positive class formations and declining significance of race in other geographical areas. Prescriptions for the continued viability of these diasporic populations are provided. India and China are undergoing a global renaissance emerging as potentially significant economic political and cultural actors on the world scene. Meanwhile ancestral Africa is still socially politically and economically fragmented thereby causing a new migratory push to North America and Europe.
