African culture and global politics language, philosophies, and expressive culture in Africa and the diaspora
African culture and global politics language, philosophies, and expressive culture in Africa and the diaspora
- New York Taylor & Francis Group 2014
- 256 pages : ill., map ; 23 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This volume attempts to insert itself within the larger discussion of Africa in the twenty-first century, especially within the realm of world politics. Despite the underwhelming amount of attention given to Africa's role in international politics in popular news sources, it is evident that Africa has a consistent record of participating in world politics- one that pre-dates colonization and continues today. In continuance of this legacy of active participation in global political exchanges, Africans today can be heard in dialogues that span the world and their roles are impossible to replace by other entities. It is evident that a vastly different Africa exists than ones that bolster images of starvation, corruption, and compliance.
