This course is a study of literary texts that survey Pan-Africanism, or unity and mutual cooperation among people of African descent, from many different angles. Writers across Africa and the Diaspora have created a robust genre of storytelling about returns from the Diaspora to Africa that celebrate the awareness of homelands and suggests various ways of reconciling heritage and diversity.
