Pan-african Narrative of Resistance in the African Diaspora Literature: Themes of Collective Resistance in Selected Post-colonial African-american Novel Haimanot Wassie Akalu

After the schism of the cold war and the nominal African independent years, the ideological and cultural movements of Pan-Africanism seem to have fainter from the intellectual and political podium. Coupled with this, advocates of Eurocentric critical and creative forerunners turn aggressively to defunct the various black nationalist and internationalist collective movements or seminal specious inventions of which various academics and political activists have made vicissitude efforts to devalue the changing faces of imperialism under its veiled and rugged slogan ? the influence of the West over the rest.? But the emerging post- colonialism and the various civil and democratic collective movements and artistic productions thereof, seem to have been haunted by the ideological and creative fervors of Pan-Africanism. In effect, post colonial avant-gauard African authors have employed it for their diverse and refurbish thematic resonation. The political and historical achievement of pan-Africanism gives more sense in the African Diaspora than to the African continent.
