Focus your observations and responses on the perspectives and actions of radical Africana peoples in the early part of the twentieth century. How do we understand the ways African and diasporic peoples organized themselves in the generations following emancipation? What were the aims, goals, and objectives of various movements? What other identities emerged alongside racialized ones? How did racial and gendered dynamics impact these movements? And what precisely were some of the meanings of “black internationalisms”? Compose an essay with Chicago-style footnote citations for this assignment.
