Abstract "These recent years there is an uprising of Black activism in the Netherlands, a country that just had a recent influx of people of African descent mainly from its former colonies of Suriname and the former Dutch Antilles. The thematic axis of this thesis is shaped by the concepts of pan-Africanism and Afrocentrism. It demonstrates how Black activists (Blacktivists) and Black conscious people are incorporating ideas of pan-Africanism and Afrocentrism in the Netherlands to produce and Black counter hegemonic discourse in the Netherlands. It reflects on how an conscious African identity is produced by consciously interacting with Afrocentrism and pan-Africanism, which connects them to the bigger global Black world.. With this pan-African identity they can identify with the global Black struggle, they can see what is happening to other people of African descent, worldwide. This Black conscious identity, and the identification with people of African descent all over the world also changed the way that Black people in the Netherlands dealt with racism and discrimination. Thesis offers a perspective on how Blacktivist try to gain Black justice by creating economic power, by drawing on the ideas of the global Black movements of pan- Africanism and Afrocentrism in the Netherlands." | ||
