ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author utilises themes emanating from Pan-African thought and practice to argue for a renewed Pan-African politics. One that is people centred and focused on empowering African descendants wherever they reside and roam. A Pan-Africanism that refocuses the link between African descendants at home and those abroad. The themes that his chapter focuses on to articulate these politics are those of race, recognition and identity; return, liberation, and unification. African descendants when faced with ritual humiliations and assaults on their identities have fought back and established political, cultural, and intellectual movements that have sought to propagate that Africans are people of culture, high intellectual capability, and that our lives and cultures matter. Although powerful political protagonists and movements have emerged from within the Pan-African sphere of influence it is still a fundamental truth that African descendants are still amongst the most marginalised and most disadvantaged populations.
