Abstract
In this article we examine what selected online audiovisual and text resources teach about Africa using Africana/Black Studies scholarship to interrogate and assess opportunities such educational materials provide for African American students to identify with Africa and the African Renaissance concept. Popularized by Cheikh Anta Diop and promoted by Thabo Mbeki, the African Renaissance envisions the transformation of Africa’s future and how Africa’s histories, peoples, and contributions to the world are understood. Using the Afrocentric method of duo autoAfronography, we suggest ways educational resources can promote identify affirming African diaspora literacy consciousness and connectedness to Africa and the idea of the African Renaissance.
