Abstract
Ämnesord
Stäng
- Africa is the name of a continent. Africa is also the name of a political idea. A large group of people, living in different places around the world, feel that they belong to an African cultural community. During the modern era, millions of people have been forced to leave the continent due to slavery, poverty or political oppression. They have carried cultural forms with them that have influenced societies all over the world. What the texts in this book have in common is that they all relate to Africa as a continent, as an idea or as a cultural identity. Historical perspectives on slavery, colonialism and anti-colonialism, as well as contemporary perspectives on cultural fusion and diaspora, open up some of the horizons of our globalized world. The book is a collaboration project between The Museum of World Culture and Museion at Göteborg University, connected to the exhibition Horizons: Voices From a Global Africa. In order to base exhibitions on the most current research, the Museum has invited researchers to produce background material and to write original texts which are presented in this book.
