CBAAC Colloquium 2013
Towards a New Pan-Africanism: Developing Anthropology, Archaeology, History and Philosophy in the Service of Africa and the Diaspora
At
The University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, Kingston Jamaica
October 30- Noverber 3, 2013
Historians are still debating the demographic, economic, social, cultural and religio-metaphysical consequences of enslavement, the slave trade, and the “middle passage” on/for Africa, Africans, and people of African descent in the Caribbean, the Americas and elsewhere. It is extremely difficult to settle the debate with population figures everybody will agree with. However, the long term psycho-behavioral consequences on the survivors, both in Africa and the Diaspora, have never been addressed systematically. The proposed conference aims to take advantage of this momentum to jumpstart a New Pan-Africanism upon a template deriving from such vantage points situated in the disciplines of anthropology, archaeology, history and philosophy.
