An African Nationalist Ideology Framed in Diaspora and the Development Quagmire

This article advances the argument that an African nationalist ideology crafted in Diaspora by African ideologues in the 19th and early 20th centuries contained tenets that addressed the fundamental development challenges faced in present day Africa. The ideology centered on African interests ranging from resistance against the institution of slavery to the formation of what was referred to as an “African nationality” with an independent African continent governed by Africans against the background of African history and Africa's contribution toward human civilization. However, after African decolonization in the 20th century, ideologues in the African leadership structure did not seem to have learned lessons from the vision and processes in the formulation of an ideology by their precursors in Diaspora, hence nullifying what probably would have resulted in an African renaissance grounding African national development in an Africanbased ideology.
