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.

Hausa architecture of Northern Nigeria and Niger Republic
// Architecture haoussa du Niger et du Nord du Nigeria.
ENGLISH (French below/Français plus bas):
Hausa architecture is a distinct sub-style among the different Sudano-Sahelian architectural styles found throughout the Sahel-geographic band of Africa. It is mostly prevalent in the Hausaland region (North Western Nigeria and Southern Niger Republic) inhabited by the Hausawa people, but the previous popularity of Hausa architects brought it to Northern Niger and Cameroon. The one or two storey buildings are made with dry mud bricks. They are characterized by the extensive use of parapets, the stucco detail used for decoration on the facades, and the Hausa vault.
Different types of urban houses, royal palaces and mosques can be seen in this video,
FRANÇAIS :
L’architecture haoussa est une branche distincte de l’architecture Soudano-sahélienne du Sahel africain. On la retrouve principalement dans la région du Pays Haoussa (Nord-ouest du Nigeria et Sud de la République du Niger), habitée par le peuple Hausawa ou Haoussa, mais la popularité ancienne des architectes haoussas l’a amenée jusqu’au Nord du Niger ou du Cameroun. Les bâtiments, d’un ou deux étages, sont construits avec des briques en terre séchée. Ils sont caractérisés par l’usage récurrent de parapets, de détails en stuc pour la décoration des façades, ainsi que de la voûte haoussa. Divers exemples de maisons citadines, palais royaux et mosquées sont présentés dans cette vidéo.
