Abstract
POPULAR CULTURE AND TRANSNATIONAL BLACKNESS is the second in a series of two dialogues organized by Deborah A. Thomas and Tina M. Campt as part of a project titled "Diasporic Hegemonies." In this dialogue, Maureen Mahon and Lena Sawyer draw from their ethnographic research within the United States and Europe to discuss the role of Africa (and originary "homelands" in general) in imagining diasporic communities in various locations. They also interrogate the role of African America in cultural production throughout the African diaspora, and how it is used by other African diasporic populations. In doing so, they ask whether there are hegemonic formations within the diaspora, and if so, how they are made manifest.
