- Title
Acculturation and Resistance: The Origins of Pan-Africanism in the Black Atlantic World.
- Authors
Flemming, Tracy
- Abstract
This essay focuses on the critical role that social and cultural adaptations played within contexts in which intellectual leaders, though not always situated in the most powerful positions and situations, worked to articulate a course of action for the effective educational development of the modern African. Religious notions of racial ideology were a central dimension of the history that is uncovered in a study of the 1822 conspiracy to revolt against slavery by enslaved Black people in Charleston, South Carolina under the leadership of Denmark Vesey. Vesey's life was one in which he travelled across a wide range of the Black Atlantic world. His personal experiences in white and Black churches and his acquisition of information about the international world played a central role in his contribution to the development of pan-Africanism.
