Sommario/riassunto

"Black," "African," "African descendant" of "African heritage," are just some of the ways Africans and Africans in the diaspora (both old and new) describe themselves. This volume seeks to understand concepts of race, ethnicity, and identity as they are ascribed to people of color around the world, examining different case studies of how the process of identity formation occurred and is changing.
