Pan-Africanism: a tendency to view all Africans and descendants of Africans as belonging to a single “race” and sharing cultural unity (Book) “George Washington was not god Almighty. He was a man like any Negro in this building … I prefer to die at this moment rather than not to work for the freedom of Africa.” -Marcus Garvey (1887 ~ 1940) - William Padmore (1903 ~ 1959)

- Europeans drew borders according to their need of profit after colonizing Africa - Sense of Unification among numerous African tribes - Direct contrast with Social Darwinism

Social Darwinism Challenged 1887~ Pan- African Ideology Nationalism 20C African intellectuals question racial inferiority 1887~ Racial pride, negritude “Africa belongs to Africans” Edward Blyden, James Johnson Beyond Political ideology Overthrow of colonial system

 Nationalism = commitment to building up the nation as a central part of the identity of the citizen and as a powerful force “Identity”  Negritude, Sense of ownership “Powerful force”  African Independence Notion of Africa as a Whole Political boundaries imposed by Europeans regardless of African tribal boundaries

PAN-AFRICANISM  Pan African Association- didn’t continue for a long time and indirect contribute to independence  Religion, largely Islam  African superiority, direct rebuttal to social darwinism INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS  Indian National Congress- continue for a long time and contribute to independence  Religious disputes  Preservation of traditional culture

 Philosophy made way for nationalism (led to decolonization)  Different cultures and distinct traditions, attempt for unity

 If Europeans had divided borders according to tribal boundaries, would Pan-Africanism have been delayed?  Investigate the symbolism within the Pan-African flag. Relate it to factors of Pan-Africanism  How much of an impact did Pan-Africanism have on political independence of Africa? Account for heated rivalry between European states eventually leading to African independence.  Analyze the contradictory aspect of Pan-African philosophy. Was it just for W.E.B. Du Bois to argue for racial superiority of Africans?
