http://www.ibiblio.org/afaa/id42.htm

Extractions: Friday, November 19, a group of panelists gathered for one of AfAAs two invited sessions New Diasporas: Implications for Theory and Methods in Africanist Anthropology. Jon Holtzman chaired the session, with additional papers presented by JoAnn DAlisera (U Arkansas), Donald Carter (Johns Hopkins), Rose Kadende-Kaiser (Mississippi State) and Bruce Roberts (Moorhead State). Paul Stoller (Westchester U) served as discussant. In the final paper, Encounters: Diaspora in Theory and Practice, Donald Carter used the case of Senegalese communities in northern Italy as a medium through which to explore the theory and practice of diasporic life. Carter considered notions of diaspora and exile contained in the Nigerian author Ben Okris novel The Famished Road In considering these various case studies from a range of theoretical perspectives, we hope this panel will serve as an impetus for a greater exploration of the implications which the development of new African diasporic communities has for Africanist anthropology as a discipline, as well as for the methodological practices of Africanist anthropologists.

Extractions: Print View l From the Viewpoints column in the September 1998 Perspectives By Colin Palmer The fourth major African diasporic stream, and the one that is most widely studied today, is associated with the Atlantic trade in African slaves. This trade, which began in earnest in the 15th century, may have delivered as many as 200,000 Africans to various European societies and 11 to 12 million to the Americas over time. The fifth major stream began during the 19th century particularly after slavery's demise in the Americas and continues to our own times. It is characterized by the movement of Africans and peoples of African descent among, and their resettlement in, various societies. These latter two diasporic streams, along with several substreams and the communities that emerged, constitute the modern African diaspora. Unlike the premodern diaspora, "racial" oppression and resistance to it are two of its most salient features. Although diasporas involve the movement of a particular people to several places at once or over time, a migration is usually of a more limited scope and duration, and essentially is the movement of individuals from one point to another within a polity or outside of it. The boundaries between the two processes are, to be sure, very elastic because diasporas are the products of several migratory streams. Thus, the contemporary movement of Jamaicans to England is a migration, but it also constitutes a part of the fifth diasporic stream identified in this essay.

Harding, A Refuge In Thunder
of Candomblé as an african diasporic home for dislocated Africans and their and wider african diasporic religious experience in the Americas.
http://northstar.vassar.edu/volume5/harding.html

Extractions: ISSN 1094-902X The central thesis of A Refuge in Thunder is that blacks in Brazil were involved in a continual process of transformational engagement with the assigned spaces and the signified identities imputed upon them by the dominant slavocratic and racist society. Using a variety of meansritual, communal, familial, aesthetic, etc.African and their descendants created alternative spaces and alternative definitions of themselves and of the meaning of their presence in the New World [xvii]. Consonant with its subtitle, Candomblé and Alternative Spaces of Blackness , the book examines the development of Candomblé in terms of the elements, experiences, and meanings which lie at its foundations in nineteenth-century Bahia. Harding outlines her authorial task as "looking at the nature and experience of slavery in Brazil (and particularly in the north-eastern captaincy/province of Bahia); the specific conjunction of Africans and Brazilian-born blacks in Salvador and the Bahian Recôncavo; the role of freedpeople in the leadership and development of the religion; networks of support and repression; the complex of magico-pharmacopoeic, ludic, divinational, and relational elements which came to comprise Candomblé; and especially, the role of the religion in the development of alternative meanings of human community and black identity within the matrix of slavery [xvii]." The book is a worthwhile study in New World study of religion as resistance to cultural hegemony and modern capitalism.

LiP | Feature | Firespitter: Jayne Cortez And The Poetics Of Diasporic Resistanc
African diaspora and Africa itself, but the interactions of diasporic to their core and connects the african diasporic dots before our very ears.
http://www.lipmagazine.org/articles/feat_sakolsky_jaynecortez_p.htm

Extractions: Much has been written on the value of creating an African consciousness in relation to national liberation movements located outside of the African continent, particularly in the Caribbean. Dub poetry, as a decolonizing agent, extends the connection beyond that of the nation-state to the Motherland. By so doing, it allows for the creation of a new cognitive map which is at once rooted in Africa and at the same time is dynamic enough to encompass not only two-way flows between the scattered peoples of the African diaspora and Africa itself, but the interactions of diasporic peoples with one another based on both the commonality and the diversity of their diasporic experiences. Here I will draw upon the work of African American poet Jayne Cortez as a touchstone in charting the poetics of struggle along diasporic lines in relation to dub poetry.

Extractions: "The Black Holocaust is one of the more underreported events in the annals of human history. The Black Holocaust makes reference to the millions of African lives which have been lost during the centuries to slavery, colonization and oppression. The Black Holocaust makes reference to the horrors endured by millions of men, women, and children throughout the African Diaspora. In sheer numbers, depth and brutality, it is a testimony to the worst elements of human behavior and the strongest elements of survival."
