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

Transcendental Africanity: The Key to Defeating Afrophobia and Reclaiming Global Africa is fourfold: (1) It explores the conceptual, historical, and contemporary meaning(s) of Africanity and transcendental Africanity as an identitary paradigm; (2)It scrutinizes Afrophobia, a contemporary outcome of the age-old racialistic biases leveled at Africans and Afro-descendents; (3) It identifies and analyzes critical reasons why transcendental Africanity is the key to defeading Afrophobia in the 21st century and how this key can and must be leveraged to this end; and, (4) the book argues that a Global Africa, that is, the worldwide collectivity of Africans and Afro-descendants generically referred to in the foreign-generated narrative as "Black people", must be steadfast in re/building itself and empowering its constituents from within in order to defeat Afrophobia and avance together toward the bright horizons it ambitions to reach.
