Abstract

This article deals with the issue of black writers’ commitment for the implementation of Pan-Africanism. In fact, black writers in America, the Caribbean and Africa have developed an episteme that aims at reconnecting black people not only with their genuine cultural and historical matrix, but also at urging them to struggle for unity. Their literary oeuvre and actions posit Pan-Africanism as the required weapon for black empowerment and progress. This study unveils the transformation of Pan-Africanism throughout history. The Afrocentric perspective that underpins it, deconstructs the Western political, economic and cultural hegemony and advocates black agency through unity. This analysis, therefore, argues that black writers’ vision and action still operate as a fertile ground for the implementation of the ever-changing Pan-Africanism.
