Readers of UHURU will immediately recognize the Journal’s overall sentiment of “Sharing?” That is, the ways in which cross-disciplinary work on Africa and the African diaspora contributes to our understanding of some of the most pressing issues not only in Africa but throughout the globe. Consequently, and taken together, the contributions to this volume not only center work on Africa in new, novel, and critical ways; they foreground the avenues through which scholarship on Africa and the African diaspora paves the way
for academics, students, and the wider community alike to understand that efforts at combating misrepresentations of our communities worldwide.
