Studying the African Diaspora can be a complex and sometimes difficult experience for students. The complexity of the subject matter demands broad, thematic or regionally structured content. Instructors are faced with the challenge of making history come alive in the classroom, while intermeshing the complex political, economic, and social aspects of the African experiences.The African Diaspora: Historical Analysis, Poetic Verses, and Pedagogy draws upon the years of classroom experience to deliver diverse pedagogical and modeling tools beyond the traditional lecture and texts analyses. The historical texts and rendition of poems selected for this book are designed to aid students’ comprehension of the complex nature of the Africana world. This is a unique text that is ideal for coursing covering World History, African Diaspora, African Literature, and the African and African-American experience.Dr. Hakeem Ibikunie Tijani is professor of history and the director of Baylor in Senegal and South Africa at Baylor University. He is the author of Britain, Leftist Nationalists and the Transfer of Power in Nigeria, 1945-1965 (Routledge, 2005). He was a UK Commonwealth Scholar (1994-1997), recipient of the Harry S. Truman Scholar Grant (1996), and the American Historical Association Bernadotte Schmidt Grant (2005). He recently co-edited Africa and the Wider World (Pearson, 2010) with Raphael C. Njoku and Tiffany F. Jones. His next book, Empire and Education: Labor Union Education in Nigeria Since 1945 will be published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2012.
