New York University’s Department of History includes a Ph.D. program in the study of the African Diaspora. As the African Diaspora is as much a conceptual landscape as anything else, the program encourages research agendas that explore connections involving communities of the African-descended that extend beyond geopolitical boundaries, as well as the interrogation of relationships of varying nature and scope with Africa. Lines of inquiry can extend in any direction, and can focus on the cultural, social, political, scientific, and economic, or on any combination thereof. Study of the African Diaspora at NYU is linked closely to the study of Africa, a separate but related Ph.D. program. Students in the African Diaspora acquire a familiarity with the dimension of Africa most related to their interests, and their professional development is keenly shaped by the experience. This is by design. While housed in History and fundamentally historical in approach and training, the study of the African Diaspora, to be successful, must necessarily be informed by methods and perspectives derived from disciplines outside of History. Interdisciplinarity, a method in its own right, is therefore embraced by the African Diaspora program. Faculty . Faculty whose research and/or teaching relate most closely to the African Diaspora includes Fred Cooper, Ada Ferrer, Michael A. Gomez, Adam Green, Martha Hodes, Richard Hull, Walter Johnson, Barbara Krauthamer, Jeffrey Sammons, and Pulitzer Prize recipient David Levering Lewis. Their combined interests are exceedingly broad and deep, stretching from the Americas to the Indian Ocean and from the early world to the present, encompassing a range of thematic specialities that can be sampled from their bios on the History website.

83. Profile Our department has led the field with its emphasis on the african Diaspora and the cultures, patterns of social organization, political economies, life http://ist-socrates.berkeley.edu/~africam/profiletext.html

Graphic Version THE DEPARTMENT OF A FRICAN A MERICAN S TUDIES The department has continued its successful St. Clair Drake Graduate Cultural Studies Forum, begun three years ago. This was developed to provide the opportunity to graduate students throughout the campus working on issues of culture and identity to present papers reflecting the direction of their research. We see all this as important to the department's stated mission of developing the theoretical and analytical frameworks for the study of Diasporic identity, of Diaspora Studies proper, and of Africa and the African Diaspora in particular by bringing together as wide a range of scholars as possible, both internationally, nationally, and campus-wide. The department is also engaged in significant efforts at community outreach with its Poetry for the People program. Poetry for the People, while continuing its vibrant university-wide effort, has also expanded its reach nationally from its Bay Area locations. This expansion contributed to the program's efforts aimed at exposing high-school students and community residents to the world of poetry writing and appreciation while, at the same time, introducing them to the world of academia. Among the number of programs and activities organized by the African American Studies Department is included the annual Graduation Ceremony which is one of the largest events of the African American community held on the Berkeley campus. Approximately 150-200 undergraduate/graduate students participate each year in the graduation ceremony which normally attracts over 7000 people.

Cuba and African Diaspora Religion by J. Lorand Matory S oricha -worship. In the United States in particular, this Afro-Cuban religion has not simply endured. It has attracted enormous classes of Cubans who would have avoided it in pre-revolutionary Cuba, as well as non-Cuban Latino immigrants who had known nothing of it in their homelands and African Americans who regard it as a way to "recover" their own ancestral African culture. Moreover, here in the U.S., the unique challenges of racial binarism have created revolutionary conflicts, and changes, in the practice of Afro-Cuban religion. I've studied, taught, and written about the Yoruba religion and its New-World counterparts-such as Lucumí in Cuba and Candomblé Nagô in Brazil-since 1980. Lucumí is by far the most prestigious of the Afro-Cuban religions, just as Candomblé Nagô is the most prestigious of the Afro-Brazilian religions. It was the need to explain this "Yoruba" preeminence that inspired my paper "The New Yoruba Empire: Texts, Migration, and the Trans-Atlantic Rise of the Lucumí Nation" presented in January 1999, at a conference co-sponsored by the Juan Marinello Center in Havana with Harvard's David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies. Because I traveled to Cuba before the conference began, I spent ten days with some wonderful Cuban

Ogunyemi is an important book as its premise is that all literatures can trace their root back in some form to African literatures. Arlington, VA (PRWEB) March 11, 2004 “Sometimes an editor just knows when he comes across a book that needs to be published” were the words that publisher Robert L. Giron said recently when asked about the new release entitled Literatures of the African Diaspora by Yemi D. Ogunyemi. What makes Literatures of the African Diaspora special is Dr. Ogunyemi’s premise for the book and the manner in which he presents his case that all literatures of the world can find their root in the literatures of Africa in some form or another. In a very tightly written book, Dr. Ogunyemi crosses the globe and finds threads of the African Diaspora across the continents and in world literatures such that one will never think about the concept of a national literature in the same light. As Dr. Joshua ‘Kunle Awosan of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth states “Dr. Yemi Ogunyemi’s Literatures of the Diaspora is as much rich in its diasporic coverage as it is in its periodized, contextual focus, fascinatingly mirroring a wide variety of literatures across the Atlantic. It, indeed, proves that African literatures are, without mincing words, a fountainhead of literary divergence.”

The great majority of Africans of the diaspora are in the western hemisphere where some, like the Afro-Cubans, are part of the Spanish-speaking world; some, like the Afro-Brazilians, are native speakers of Portuguese; and still others, like Haitains, are French-speaking. English-speaking blacks like Jamaicans, black Britons, black Canadians, and black Americans form the largest single group of the diaspora. This course will explore the history of these scattered children of Africa: their dispersal to various regions of the world, especially the western hemisphere; the circumstances and institutions which shaped the evolution of diasporic communities; and the continuing physical and emotional ties to Africa and Africans.

Meets: MW 2:30-3:45 BH 141 Meets with C360 This semester, the course will focus on the literature (fiction, drama, and poetry) and theory of the African diaspora. We will discuss how writers from Africa, England, the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America see their ties to a transnational community of peoples of African heritage. We will consider how they discuss race and ethnicity within their national contexts and also consider how the concept of Afrocentricity has been used at various times as a discourse to express unity among diasporic populations. We will look at written and cinematic texts to analyze the impulse to idealize Africa as an originary homeland. We will also investigate what assumptions and/or prejudices some diasporan populations have about others. The texts we will read for this class thematize the idea of travel, displacement and/or exile. By and large we will be looking at how texts from one tradition imagine or react to another: we will read about how Afro-Caribbean writers think of Africa, how Afro-British writers depict life in the United States, how Dominicans view Haitians as black but not themselves, and finally, how African writers portray the Caribbean or the United States. There will be a midterm and a final as well as one long paper assigned in this course.
