Identity Re-creation in Global African Encounters explores race, racial politics, and racial transformation in the context of Africa’s encounters with non-African communities through various perspectives including oppression, racialization of ethnic difference, and identity deconstruction. While the contributors recognize that ethnicity has long been a staple analytical category of engagements between African and non-African communities, they present a holistic view of the continent and its diaspora through race outside of both colonial and neocolonial binaries, allowing for a more nuanced study of Africa and its diaspora.
“Identity Re-creation in Global African Encounters focuses admirably on the diverse, but pressing, issues that define the contemporary experiences of continental and diaspora Africans: ethnicity, racism, decolonization, racialized aesthetic bodily transformation, indigenous/religious lures, inheritance practices, human-trafficking, sexuality, and social media. In both range and depth, the selections in this book are landmark contributions to the ongoing conversation on black authenticity and the salience of identity formation, destruction, negotiation, deconstruction, and recreation in global Africa.” -- Muyiwa Falaiye, University of Lagos
