Pan-Africanism: A History is a monumental survey of the movements, individuals, and organizations that fought for the unity of the African diaspora, written by the first professor of history of African descent in the UK. Professor Hakim Adi takes the reader from a time before "Pan-Africanism" was even termed and charts the transformation of the movement over the decades, spanning the globe to reveal all the actors and conditions that allowed Pan-Africanism to bloom. From the first Pan-African congresses held by Du Bois, to Afros and Bob Marley and Négritude, to the African Union and its future—this book is an expansive look at all involved in building up the Pan-African movement to what it is today.
