The contributors highlight the problems and challenges of this relationship and provide strategies for developing a more functional and mutually beneficial engagement in a radically changing global environment. This book presents new methodolog…
In the Service of God and Humanity
An analysis of Black activist Martin R. Delany's humanist vision for a world where everyone feels validated and empowered Martin R. Delany (1812-1885) was one of the leading and most influential Black activists and nationalists in American history. His ideas have inspired generations of activists and movements, including Booker T. Washington in the late nineteenth century, Marcus Garvey in the early 1920s, Malcolm X and Black Power in 1960s, and …
Melissa L. Cooper. Making Gullah
Making Gullah is a classic study of the power of fantasy and the imagination in shaping knowledge about a people’s identity and heritage. It is also about how an imposed identity of negation and negativity would be transformed into an endearing identity worthy of defending. Melissa L. Cooper represents the Gullah as the product, as well as the victims, of decades of American fascination and obsession with the primitive and exotic “other.” Focusin…
Africa in Black Liberation Activism
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. Adeleke engages…
Nico Slate. The Prism of Race
In the early 1830s, leading Black Americans adopted the moniker “Colored American” as protest identity. They deemed color of little value if not unifying and empowering. By the mid-nineteenth century, nationalist Martin Delany began advocating a colored framing of black struggles to encompass diverse peoples across nations and continents. Therefore, long before W. E. B. Du Bois theorized his colored cosmopolitan ideology, Delany had envisioned a …
Africa in Black Liberation Activism
The Case against Afrocentrism
Postcolonial discourses on African Diaspora history and relations have traditionally focused intensely on highlighting the common experiences and links between black Africans and African Americans. This is especially true of Afrocentric scholars and supporters who use Africa to construct and validate a monolithic, racial, and culturally essentialist worldview. Publications by Afrocentric scholars such as Molefi Asante, Marimba Ani, Maulana Kareng…
Middle Passages
Historically, the “middle passage” refers to the traumatic journeys of millions of enslaved Africans en route to the new world. In this study, however, James Campbell draws attention to a multiplicity of “middle passages” that black Americans took as they returned to Africa for validation of their history, identity, and culture. Over the past two hundred years, Campbell argues, black Americans have been driven to Africa by the circumstances of th…
Creative Conflict in African American Thought
Since publication of The Golden Age of Black Nationalism, 1850–1925 (1978), Wilson Jeremiah Moses has defined the contours of black nationalism. In the last decade, however, a revisionist scholarship has begun to reshape the black nationalist landscape, questioning Moses's perspectives and no doubt provoking this response. In his new book, Moses addresses loopholes in his earlier studies. Focusing on five key black leaders—Frederick Douglass, Ale…

Violence as an Option for Free Blacks in Nineteenth-Century America
Introduction In August 1846, twelve Blacks from the states of Ohio, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, and Tennessee assembled in St. Louis, Missouri to launch a revolutionary organization dedicated to the violent overthrow of slavery. Called the Twelve Knights of Tabor, the members were sworn to secrecy, and they dedicated their lives to the bloody and violent overthrow of slavery (Dickson 19). Th…
Martin R. Delany
Martin R. Delany (1812-85) has been called the Father of Black Nationalism, but his extraordinary career also encompassed the roles of abolitionist, physician, editor, explorer, politician, army officer, novelist, and political theorist. Despite his enormous influence in the nineteenth century, and his continuing influence on black nationalist thought in the twentieth century, Delany has remained a relatively obscure figure in U.S. culture, gener…

Pan-Africanism
Book synopsis: What does it mean to be an African today? Starting from that question the author takes the reader on a fascinating intellectual journey into the realm of Pan-African thought and practice. Moving from Africa to North America to Europe, the text insightfully explores the pre-occupations of black elite, in the three continents, exploring their shared visions and also their conflicting interests. Tackling thought provoking issues in po…
UnAfrican Americans
Though many scholars will acknowledge the Anglo-Saxon character of black American nationalism, few have dealt with the imperialistic ramifications of this connection. Now, Nigerian-born scholar Tunde Adeleke reexamines nineteenth-century black American nationalism, finding not only that it embodied the racist and paternalistic values of Euro-American culture but also that nationalism played an active role in justifying Europe's intrusion into Afr…

Who Are We? Africa and the Problem of Black American Identity
Introduction In The Roots of African-American Identity: Memory and History In The Antebellum Free Communities, Elizabeth Raul Bethel (1997) identifies two critical events that shaped black American consciousness and identity in the nineteenth century. The first was the Haitian revolution of 1791-1804, which resulted in the overthrow of French plantocratic hegemony by black slaves. For blacks in the United States and elsewhere, the revolution repr…

Black Biography in the Service of a Revolution
The paper examines how utilitarian and ideological considerations influenced biographical and other critical studies of Martin R. Delany, 1812-1885, resulting in the portrayal of a personality fundamentally different from the historical Delany. It underscores the pragmatic and complex character of Delany, and strongly urges a re-examination
Martin R. Delany's Philosophy of Education
Martin Robison Delany (1812-1885) is rarely acknowledged in the historiography of African American education (Anderson, 1988; Bullock, 1967; Butchart, 1980). He is not counted among African American educators, perhaps because he neither featured prominently in the establishment of schools nor philosophized at length on education. On the contrary, he built his reputation largely on his nationalist activities and on his extensive publications which…
