	Facilitating Scholarly Communication in African Studies
		There are over 400 Africanists scattered across more than a hundred university departments and research institutes in the country, and it is assumed that bringing this scattered community together in a virtual environment will help to increase knowledge exchange and networking activity.
		Africanists are approached by their colleagues and invited to participate.
		To date, most Africanists have not shown a pro-active attitude concerning changes in academic publishing and open access, but they do sympathize with the idea of increasing access to their own publications in Africa and reaching scholars in Africa.

	Walter Sisulu - Congress and the Africanists, Africa South, July-September 1959
		In reality, the Africanists were never able to muster much support or gain much influence in the A.N.C. Their departure has greatly pleased the great majority of Congressmen, who regarded them as a noisy and disruptive clique, and who consider all the talk of a "major split" in Congress as absurd.
		Even though the Africanists have not evolved any definite programme and policy, the general trend of their ideas is manifest: it lies in a crude appeal to African racialism as a reply to White arrogance and oppression.
		Every attempt by the Africanists to reverse the policy of alliance and replace it with one of narrow sectionalism and exclusiveness has been crushingly rejected by the membership in provincial and national conferences.

	Eyes Wide Shut: Africanists and the Moral Problematics of Postcolonial
		[1] Africanists have followed Gourevitch either by redirecting the force of causal explanation back to the colonial era or by insisting that the genocide was irremediably complex in ways that Gourevitch failed to appreciate.
		It is not merely that Africanists do not write such work, or write it slowly, but that work which does exist is often ignored or marginalized as unsophisticated and unacademic.
		Isn’t that as it should be? I am not saying there should be a total disconnect between the two academies, but it seems wholly positive to me that African intellectuals should be motivated by one set of problematics in their writing and thinking and Anglo-American academics by another.

	Guidelines of Ethical Conduct in Research and Other Professional Undertakings in Africa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Africanists should commit themselves, as far as possible, to respect, in these terms, prevailing local practices of collaborating, hiring, training, and using assistants and subjects.
		Africanists should not accept funds or sponsorship that benefit a sponsoring organization or government in self-aggrandizing ways that compromise the integrity of Africanists’ scholarly endeavors by influencing results of research, professional work, or the content of presentations.
		Scholars and professional Africanists should make every effort to see that their publications or reports are not exploited for inordinate profit and that they are made available at charges that are reasonable to scholars, libraries, and higher education institutions in the appropriate African country/ies.

	World History Connected \| Vol. 2 No. 1 \| Erik Gilbert: Putting Africa in World History and Vise Versa
		Finally, I will look at Africanists' reluctance to engage world history on its own terms, which I contend is one of the reasons that Africanists perceive that their area is shortchanged by world historians.
		Africanists are uneasy with the Africa represented in world history in part because they know that a big portion of Africa's huge and varied past is not captured by such a list.
		Only a few Africanists are also world historians, and it is not coincidental that a majority of those who have embraced world history—Ned Alpers, Phillip Curtin, Pat Manning, David Northrup, and John Thornton, for example—have made slavery and the slave trade their focus.

	Eyes Wide Shut: Africanists and the Moral Problematics of Postcolonial
		The moral outrage, which suffused most Africanist historical and anthropological writing about the apartheid state, is largely absent when it comes to postcolonial African misrule.
		[1] Africanists have followed Gourevitch either by redirecting the force of causal explanation back to the colonial era or by insisting that the genocide was irremediably complex in ways that Gourevitch failed to appreciate.
		It is not merely that Africanists do not write such work, or write it slowly, but that work which does exist is often ignored or marginalized as unsophisticated and unacademic.

	A Tale of Two Victims
		Many Africanists have written about this fact: we’ve coined a host of terms: the vampire state, the gangster state; we’ve charted the social networks through which the dispersed official capacity for violence flows in increasingly decentralized fashion.
		Africanist scholars readily acknowledge the presence and importance of quasi-official criminal networks in postcolonial states, both informally in conversations and formally in our scholarship.
		It’s the thing Africanists were least prepared to think about and address, the possibility that civic virtue is a matter of everyday practice, and the society where that goes neglected at the top may find that some of the rot begins from below.

	World History Connected \| Vol. 2 No. 1 \| Jonathan T. Reynolds: So Many Africas, So Little Time: Doing Justice to Africa ...
		Not altogether correctly attributed to "Afrocentrism," these images are often characterized by what Africanists call "Merrie Africa"—an idealized image of historical Africa as a land characterized by egalitarian societies living in harmony with one another and with the natural world.
		Africanists often refer to this perspective as "Afro-pessimism," the idea that there is no hope for Africa in the foreseeable future.
		Africanists already do this within their own field, dividing the continent up into geographical, cultural, and thematic regions and recognizing that what is true for one area of study may not be true for another.

	Pan Africanism
		As Africans gained independence from the colonialists, Pan Africanists not only held meetings but started to head governments.
		The Pan African Congress was responsible for much of the radicalization of the fight against apartheid, because prior to it pacifist ideas held greater sway.
		The Pan Africanist Congress was one of two U.N. recognized organizations connected to South Africa (sometimes referred to as "Azania") while the white-minority regime held power.

	Lessons of the 1950s: Chapter 9 - Division weakens the movement
		From 1957 onwards, however, the Africanists began to gain a certain echo in townships (particularly on the Rand) and in the ranks of Congress activists.
		In due course, the Africanist section of the middle class were to show themselves equally capable of vacillating, when they stood at the head of a mass movement and thus encountered the concerted pressure of the capitalist class.
		The Africanists claimed that a vote of no-confidence had been passed in the provincial leadership, the constitution suspended, and the way cleared for the installation of the Africanists in the leadership.

	Moses Kotane, South African Revolutionary by Brian Bunting
		It was clear the Africanists, “obeying their master’s voice, the voice of Dr Verwoerd”, had a separate organisation of their own and there was no room for them in Congress.
		The Africanist challenge was finally defeated at the conference of the Transvaal ANC held in Johannesburg on November 1 and 2, 1958.
		With the Africanists out of the way, the annual conference of the ANC held in Durban over the week-end of December 13 and 14, 1958, attended by over 200 delegates, displayed greater unity than had been witnessed in Congress circles for some time.

	AEGiS-DMG: SACP Klaps Mbeki And His Africanists
		In its critique of the Africanist trend, the bulletin highlights its tendency to move into "denial", referring to Africanist attitudes to HIV/Aids and unemployment in South Africa.
		Africanists are said to resort to "subjectivist explanations -- allegations of conspiracies or an overly psychologised explanation for persisting injustices (white racism, or global Afro-pessimism)".
		Africanists identify white farmers and Britain as the cause of stalled land reform, which "lies at the heart of the economic crisis" in Zimbabwe.

	UC Davis News & Information :: Home
		Dubbed informally as the Committee of Africanists at UC Davis, the group has been spurred to meet regularly by professor of anthropology Donald Donham, who came to UC Davis this year from a highly acclaimed African Studies program at Emory University.
		Lawrance says the Africanists are working closely with faculty from African-American and African studies and arranging events for the public and students to learn more about the continent.
		"Our goal is to create a vibrant and viable Africanist community on campus, where scholars from all disciplines can meet and share their work," said Lawrance, noting that a good model is UCLA's African studies center, the largest in the country.

	AFRICANISM AND CULTURE: EXCERPT OF SPEECH GIVEN AT THE CONGRESS OF AFRICANISTS
		To those who say that there is no documentary source for that period of African history which pre-dates the European contact, modern research has a crushing answer.
		We know that we were not without a tradition of historiography, and, that this is so, is now the verdict of true Africanists.
		It is therefore proper and fitting that a Congress of Africanists should take place in Africa and that the concept of Africanism should devolve from and be animated by that Congress.

	The Chronicle: 3/28/2003: Out of Africa
		Kitching is a member of that generation of Africanists whose intellectual and political commitments were forged during Africa's decolonization in the 1960s and '70s.
		It was a period, as he describes in his manifesto, "when the hope and optimism generated by Africa's independence from colonialism was still in the air." And "like many young intellectual radicals of that period," Mr.
		He senses that for many Africanists, "some of the things I say they recognize to be true -- painfully true -- but there's no point in articulating them because it would just create complications in their professional practice, for no payoff." His hope, however, is that some African Africanists will take it up.

		The Africanists, however, continued their activities within the ANC in an attempt to capitalize on the nationalist forces that had emerged during the Defiance Campaign.
		The Africanists subsequently decided to form their own political group that would promote African initiatives in the struggle against apartheid and the white South African government.
		Consequently, the Pan Africanist Congress began the process of changing from an ex-patriot liberation organization to a political party within South Africa and its members began to be repatriated.

		The Africanist leaders say trade union leaders have demonstrated their insincerity to the masses and insulted the African workers in Guinea.
		However, some social movements involved in last month's protests are blaming the Africanist Movement for igniting violent protests in Labe, Dalaba, Pita and many parts of Kindia and Conakry with trade union leaders accusing the Africanist laedership of seeking to use the crisis to advance a different objective.
		For now, the Africanists have refused to comment on what next steps they intend to take but for the trade union leadership the situation has been a worthy enterprise after all.

	Mots Pluriels Van Allen
		As a left academic and activist, my concern is to have as many teachers, students and activists as possible exposed to progressive teaching about Africa so that they can pass on their understandings to others and help build a significant constituency that actively challenges U.S. policy towards Africa from an informed perspective.
		Many Africanists feel caught in between, unwilling to voice a position for fear of being categorized with one extreme or the other.
		I believe we can and must do better, and that it is crucial that we do so for the future of both African studies and U.S. African policy, as well as for race relations within African studies and perhaps outside it as well.
