This three-day conference takes a critical and retrospective look at the nature and capacities of the African Diasporas. ‘Africa and its Diasporas’ include not only people of African descent living/working outside Africa, but also people of diverse socio-cultural, linguistic, racial and religious identities and their descendants, who maintain some form of association/identification with Africa. These include but are not restricted to people of Arab and Levantine descent, from the Indian and Chinese sub-continents, as well as from Europe.
The symposium and dialogue sessions will bring together a collection of prominent speakers and participants from all over the world including university faculty, graduate students, officials from government and international organizations, as well as representatives of the mass media, community groups, and NGOs.
