Those concerned with the study of African political economy & "development" in Africa have often neglected those ideas that emerged from the African diaspora, while those who study the African diaspora have often been more concerned with issues of identity than with the political future of Africa. This article argues that for those who are concerned with the study anticolonialism, it is difficult to separate the history of Africa & the African diaspora during the colonial period in the early 20th century. Many key anticolonial ideas were developed as much in the diaspora & in the capital cities of Europe as they were on the African continent. Ideologies such as pan-Africanism, which developed within the diaspora in general, & in GB in particular, drew from the same 19th-century sources that imposed Eurocentric notions on the ideology of African nationalism. However, such ideologies, as developed by activists from the diaspora, created the basis for alternative strategies not only for the anticolonial struggle, but also for a modern African political theory, a necessary requirement for people-centered development in postcolonial African states. 17 References.
