Based on interviews and materials, Gyamfi reinterprets the significance of Anani Dzidzienyo as a Black Studies scholar and activist, who pioneered in African diaspora studies and made significant contributions to academic research and liberation movements.
Drawing on interviews and archival and published materials, Gyamfi reinterprets Anani Dzidzienyo's significance as a Black Studies scholar and activist. Dzidzienyo was a pioneer in academic African diaspora studies who institutionalized the inclusion of Africa and Brazil. For fifty years, Dzidzienyo created Black Studies and Afro-Latin American programs, designed Afro-Brazilian courses that expanded Portuguese and Brazilian Studies, and supported freedom struggles in Africa and Brazil. In so doing, he built a transnational network of scholar-activists and institutions. Yet, for all this, scholars have mostly neglected Dzidzienyo's work and wide influence on multiple fields of study and liberation movements.
