This book offers a much-needed and long-overdue survey of the field, setting the stage for further exploration and analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters discuss the Congressional Black Caucus and TransAfrica Forum; African American political organizations and Africa; Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice; the evaporation of strong black voices in events such as those in Rwanda and Darfur; and self-critical Pan Africanism.
