Talawa Adodo, Ph.D. | Africanity, Language & Global Africa

Talawa Adodo, Ph.D. | Africanity, Language & Global Africa Okunini Talawa Adodo 3 Views • 3 hours ago

How do language, culture, history, and African-centered ways of knowing help us understand the connections among African people across time and geography?

In this UWP Scholar Spotlight, contributing scholar Talawa Adodo, Ph.D. discusses his contribution to Transcendental Africanity: The Key to Defeating Afrophobia and Reclaiming Global Africa, edited by Mohamed Saliou Camara, Ph.D.

Dr. Adodo’s scholarship engages African civilizations, African and Afro-Caribbean languages, Africology, cultural continuity, and questions of African identity across time and space. His contribution to Transcendental Africanity enters the volume’s larger conversation about Africanity, Global Africa, cultural memory, identity, language, Afrophobia, belonging, resistance, and African self-determination.

His work invites us to consider an important question at the heart of the volume:

How do African people understand themselves, their histories, and their connections to one another through African-centered intellectual and cultural frameworks?

Through the UWP Scholar Spotlight Series, readers move beyond the chapter title to encounter the scholars, questions, intellectual traditions, and research behind the scholarship.

ABOUT TRANSCENDENTAL AFRICANITY

Transcendental Africanity: The Key to Defeating Afrophobia and Reclaiming Global Africa brings together ten chapters by nine scholars examining the enduring connections among Africans and Afro-descendants while confronting the historical and contemporary forces that have produced separation, displacement, and Afrophobia.

The volume creates an interdisciplinary space for thinking about Africanity, identity, culture, language, historical memory, belonging, resistance, sovereignty, and African self-determination while asking what these ideas might mean for the future of Global Africa.

The book offers relevance for African Studies, Africana Studies, Black Studies, African Diaspora Studies, Africology, History, Political Science, Cultural Studies, Language Studies, and related interdisciplinary fields.
