	African Diaspora in the 21st Century
		As Africans, in Africa and the African Diaspora, we have to answer the question as to why there has been this divergence of experience in the aftermath of revolutions as interconnected as were the American, French and Haitian revolutions.
		Africans on the continent and in the Diaspora are today confronted by a world of financial, investment, and trade regimes which unfairly favour the developed world and which prevents them from improving their quality of life.
		Africans in both the Diaspora and the continent have entered the 21st century still confronted by the hard realities of entrenched poverty, general underdevelopment, death from curable diseases, illiteracy, international marginalisation, and little prospects for rates of growth and development that will close the gap between themselves and the rich countries.

		As a consequence, the creation of the African diaspora -- the establishment of the presence of people of African descent throughout the world -- is one of the oldest and most continuous aspects of the global fl experience.
		The African presence in pre-Columbian Europe is well documented and studies such as those of Ivan Van Sertima (They Came Before Columbus) make it clear that Africans also ventured across the Atlantic.
		It is this population and its descendants that have become the principle subjects of the emerging field of African diasporan studies.

	Description \| African Diaspora Studies and the Disciplines \| 24-26 March 2006 \| Madison, WI
		The study of the African diaspora has become a vibrant area of research and teaching in recent years across disciplines.
		The ultimate goal of the symposium is the publication of an edited volume that will stand as a definitive statement for some time to come on the ways that the African diaspora is understood, produced, enabled and constrained in and by the various disciplines.
		This is not a symposium for the presentation of primary research on the African diaspora; it is devoted solely to meta-level conceptual examinations of the practice of African diaspora studies within and at the intersection of the disciplines.

	Black Looks
		Yet it is the latter group (migrants) that have the most too loose and the most to gain by the development or lack of development of their homeland as they remain the marginalised economically and socially invisible masses of Africans in the diaspora at effect of race, class and whiteness on a daily basis.
		It seems that the comment on a diaspora ‘even outside the US’ is a bit indicative of an excessive focus (in the USA) on African diaspora defined as people of African descent in the USA.
		Clearly this particular diaspora (perhaps less connected with Africa than any of the other substantial ones?) is very substantial with 30 million or so people (employing, more or less, a ‘one drop rule’; for who counts as African-American) but there’s the Caribbean, Brazil (and elsewhere in South America), Europe, and so on.

	WOMEN IN AFRICA AND THE AFRICAN DIASPORA
		Women in Africa and the African Diaspora is an eloquently illuminating addition to the thin bibliography on fl feminism.
