In Untersuchungen über die Geschichte des Panafrikanismus werden häufig die ökonomischen Aspekte dieser Bewegung und Denkschule vernachlässigt. Von Beginn an sahen die Befürworter eines wirtschaftlichen Panafrikanismus ihr geschäftliches Engagement nicht nur als Quelle des Gelderwerbs, sondern auch als eine Möglichkeit der 'rassischen Aufwertung'. Durch Teilhabe an der internationalen kapitalistischen Ökonomie via Besitz und Management, so das Kalkül, würden schwarze Unternehmer nicht nur reich, sie würden zugleich einen Beitrag im Kampf um die politischen und sozialen Rechte der Schwarzen leisten. Der Artikel versucht, dieses Denken und die daraus folgenden Entwicklungen am Beispiel Rhodesiens nachzuzeichnen. (DÜI-Sbd)

SummaryBetween 1924 and 1961 elite Africans in Southern Rhodesia (colonial Zimbabwe) waged a protracted political struggle for the right legally to drink "European" liquor, which had been banned to colonized Africans under the Brussels Treaty of 1890. Refusing to be lumped with the black masses and basing their claim on the notion that there should be "equal rights for all civilized men", elite Africans argued that they had attained a cultural level comparable to that of the dominant European settlers and should therefore be exempt from the liquor ban. This struggle, which ended successfully in 1961, also highlights other important themes in the history of the emergent African elite in Southern Rhodesia, most notably its political tactics and consciousness. The quest for European liquor helped to hone political skills as well, as a number of individuals who participated in it later became important African nationalist leaders.

Transcending geographic and cultural lines, From Toussaint to Tupac is an ambitious collection of essays exploring black internationalism and its implications for a black consciousness. At its core, black internationalism is a struggle against oppression, whether manifested in slavery, colonialism, or racism. The ten essays in this volume offer a comprehensive overview of the global movements that define black internationalism, from its origins in the colonial period to the present.From Toussaint to Tupac focuses on three moments in global black history: the American and Haitian revolutions, the Garvey movement and the Communist International following World War I, and the Black Power movement of the late twentieth century. Contributors demonstrate how black internationalism emerged and influenced events in particular localities, how participants in the various struggles communicated across natural and man-made boundaries, and how the black international aided resistance on the local level, creating a collective consciousness.In sharp contrast to studies that confine Black Power to particular national locales, this volume demonstrates the global reach and resonance of the movement. The volume concludes with a discussion of hip hop, including its cultural and ideological antecedents in Black Power.Contributors:Hakim Adi, Middlesex University, LondonSylvia R.
