Title/s

Transcendental Africanity: The Key to Defeating Afrophobia and Reclaiming Global Africa

"Transcendental Africanity is a groundbreaking exploration of identity and unity within the Global African Community. The authors, from Africa and the Diaspora, delve into the deep-rooted concept of Africanity, offering fresh insights into its historical, contemporary, and conceptual dimensions. The book confronts the pervasive phenomenon of Afrophobia—namely, the entrenched pattern of racial bias and discrimination targeted at Africans and Afro-descendants—and presents transcendental Africanity as the vital key to overcoming it in the twenty-first century and beyond.

The rigorous critical analysis that the authors methodically apply throughout this collective volume reveals how embracing transcendental Africanity can further unite Africans and Afro-descendants worldwide and empower their Global African Community against all forms of racial prejudice.  

For anyone interested in the future of African identity, social justice, and global unity, this book offers a collective effort to rebuild the worldwide community of Africans and Afro-descendants and equip them with tools to reclaim the narrative of their past and own their present and future."
