Abstract

Son yirmi yılda Pan-Afrikan ideolojisinin tekrardan ortaya çıkması günümüzde Afrika’da bulunan sosyal, siyasi ve ekonomik yapının yansıtılmasıdır. Pan-Afrikanizm, Afrika kıtası bağımsızlık mücadelesi üzerine oluşturulmuş bir yapıydı. Bu ideoloji, Afrikalıları, destek, iş birliği ve uzlaşma için bir alan oluşturan kıtasal ideoloji altındaki diğer bireysel Afrika kökenlerini birleştirdi. Günümüzde Pan-Afrikan ideolojisi Afrika gelişim girişimlerine katkı sağlamada, Afrika diasporası için çekim etkisi yapan bir etken haline geldi. Bu makale Pan-Afrikan ideolojisi ve Afrika diasporasının deneyimlerinin, gelişmek için Afrika diasporasının arttırılmış katkılarını etkilediğini, Afrika’daki Pan-Afrikanizm ve Afrika diasporasının tarihsel birleşimini takip ederek savunuyor. Bu makale gelişimin güçlü bir sütunu olarak Afrika diasporasının nasıl birleştiğini incelemek için Afrika diasporası birleşiminin tarihsel hesaplarının derin analizlerini açıklayıcı yöntembilim kullanarak benimser.

The Sixth Zone: Historical Roots of African Diaspora and Pan-Africanism in African Development

Abstract

The re-emergence of Pan-African ideology in the last two decades is reflected in social, political, and economic structures found in Africa today. Pan-Africanism was the foundation upon which the struggle for African continental independence was anchored. This ideology united Africans and other individuals of African descent under a continental ideology that created a domain for support, cooperation and understanding. Today, Pan-African ideology has become a pull factor for the African diaspora to contribute to African development initiatives. By tracing the historical emergence of African diaspora and Pan-Africanism in Africa, this article argues that Pan-African ideology and the experiences of African diaspora has influenced increased contributions of African diaspora to development. Using explanatory methodology, this article adopts an in-depth analysis of historical accounts of the emergence of African diaspora to examine how the African diaspora has emerged as a strong pillar of development.
