On Pan-Africanism: Past and Present

Adom Getachew speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2025.

This talk surveys the history of Pan-Africanism with specific attention to key inflection moments such as the late nineteenth century and the era of decolonization to consider its on-going resonances. Through specific attention to the cultural politics of Pan-Africanism, it demonstrates why visions of global Black solidarity continue to be activated even as the political projects of African federation and other forms of political and economic integration have declined.
