Reimagining North America’s African Diaspora

… as anthropology increasingly abandons the idea that cultures can be treated as integrated wholes … we would do well to look at those African American communities that … defined themselves in neodiffusionist terms as nations apart, diasporas, and transnational communities, long before postcolonial theory made it fashionable to recognize that many non-African communities do so as well.
