Product Description
Routes of Passage provides a conceptual, substantive, and empirical orientation to the study of African people worldwide. Routes of Passage addresses issues of geographical mobility and geosocial displacement; changing cultural, political, and economic relationships between Africa and its diaspora; interdiaspora relations; political and economic agency and social mobilization, including cultural production and psychocultural transformation; existence in hostile and oppressive political and territorial space; and confronting interconnected relations of social inequality, especially class, gender, nationality, and race.

collected articles on many facets of African diaspora February 14, 2007
This first of an 11 projected volumes in the African Diaspora Research Project Series presents the diaspora of Africans as a multidimensional global phenomenon occurring in the "diaspora age" of the 1800s and 1900s, not mainly as a diaspora focused on the United States and the West Indies associated with slavery as such a diaspora is commonly regarded. Africans moved to most parts of the world for diverse reasons. In some cases, they were forced to find new areas to live or pressured by political, religious, or racial circumstances, along the lines of Jewish or Irish populations leaving their traditional homelands. In other cases, Africans were drawn to particular areas by economic opportunities or a natural desire to move into the wider world. More than 20 papers by leading academics helping to fashion this relatively recently identified field of study provide "situational and historical explanations of the proliferation of African diaspora passages and circulatoriness in the Middle East, Asia, Germany, Australia, and Russia." A couple of chapters deal with the topics of library collection development in this emerging field and academic programs reflecting approaches to it and course content.
