Product Description

With thirty-eight accessible essays from prominent African, Afro-Caribbean, and African-American scholars, The Pan-African Pantheon offers readers a fascinating insight into the intellectual thinking and contributions to Pan-Africanism. It explores the history of Pan-Africanism and the quest for reparations, and examines early pioneers of Pan-Africanism as well as key activists, politicians, and literati. The volume covers thirty-six historical and contemporary figures, including well-known Pan-Africanists such as W.E.B. Du Bois and Marcus Garvey, alongside popular figures not typically identified with mainstream Pan-Africanism, such as Maya Angelou, Malcolm X, and Bob Marley. While acknowledging the contributions of these figures to Pan- Africanism, these essays are not just celebratory - they offer valuable criticism in areas where their subjects may have fallen short of their ideals.
