Human Rights, Race, and Resistance in Africa and the African Diaspora Paperback / softback
Edited by Toyin Falola, Cacee Hoyer
Part of the Routledge African Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
Africans and their descendants have long been faced with abuse of their human rights, most frequently due to racism or racialized issues.
Consequently, understanding shifting conceptualizations of race and identity is essential to understanding how people of color confronted these encounters.
This book addresses these issues and their connections to social justice, discrimination, and equality movements.
From colonial abuses or their legacies, black people around the world have historically encountered discrimination, and yet they do not experience injustice opaquely.
The chapters in this book explore and clarify how Africans, and their descendants, struggled to achieve agency despite long histories of discrimination.
Contributors draw upon a range of case studies related to resistance, and examine these in conjunction with human rights and the concept of race to provide a thorough exploration of the diasporic experience.
Human Rights, Race, and Resistance in Africa and the African Diaspora will appeal to students and scholars of Ethnic and Racial Studies, African History, and Diaspora Studies.
