"Within the complex topographies of global power relations and the struggles for more just ways of life, this book restores vitality to the notion of many "Souths" through a comprehensive exploration of relations of all kindswhich in turn substantiate different ways of being in the world." -- AbdouMaliq Simone, Senior Professorial Fellow, Urban Institute, University of Sheffield, UK
"Only action from the global South will change world inequalities; but how? This handbook explores South-South connections, from economic development to politics, education, art and science, refugees, environment, and more. It is a great resource for all concerned with global justice." -- Raewyn Connell, Professor Emerita, University of Sydney, Australia
"Much has been written about the South, but very little has been written with the South and, even less, from the perspective of the South. This path-breaking book fills this gap. A must-read for everyone interested in knowing that one of the causes of our current global crisis stems from a massive waste of precious social experience forcefully emerging in this book." -- Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Professor of Sociology, University of Coimbra, Portugal, and Distinguished Legal Scholar, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA.
"What is Pan-Africanism? What are its main tenets? Where and when did it develop? Is Pan-Africanism still relevant in the 21st century? What new questions are Pan-Africanists in the 21st century asking? These are some of the questions that Routledge Handbook of Pan-Africanism, edited by Reiland Rabaka, seeks to address While acknowledging that there is no single definition of or approach to Pan-Africanism, Rabaka makes it clear that for many Pan-Africanists, including those who contributed to this volume, "Pan-Africanism is simultaneously an idea and a movement, a kind of intellectualism and activism, a theory and a praxis" which "exists whenever people of African ancestry recognize and resist the particular ways continental and diasporan Africans have been racialized, colonized, enslaved, oppressed, and exploited" This book is a welcome contribution to the rich intellectual tradition of Pan-Africanism." Simphiwe Sesanti (2020) Routledge Handbook of Pan-Africanism, International Journal of African Renaissance Studies - Multi-, Inter- and Transdisciplinarity, 15:2, 134-136, DOI: 10.1080/18186874.2020.1855829
"Reiland Rabakasnew Routledge Handbook of Pan-Africanism is an expan-sive, if not exhaustive, work that provides welcome novelty and important scholarly coherence to the important, complex, and at times contradic-tory political, social, economic, philosophical, and cultural actions, activ-ities, and ideologies that underpin Pan-Africanism. This enormous volume, organized into seven parts and thirty-ve chapters and represent-ing almost forty contributors, is a rich testament to the sustained interest in a dynamic force that not only propelled abolition, anti-colonialism, independence, and contemporary political upheaval, but also continues to shape African and African Diasporic lives into the present millennium."
