Recently this summer, a new book on "Africa and Its Historical and Contemporary Diasporas" was published by Lexington Books, which Tunde Adeleke (Iowa State University) and Arno Sonderegger (University of Vienna) have been working on editing for the past three years. It contains eight individual contributions by authors from Africa, the United States, and Europe. In addition to the editors, Felix Kumah-Abiwuh (Kent State University), Alma Jean Billingslea Brown (Spelman College Atlanta), Kyrah Malika Daniels (Emory University), Dominik Frühwirth (University of Vienna), Babacar M'Baye (Kent State University), and Saheed Yinka Adejumobi (Seattle University) have contributed chapters worth reading.

Initial assessments of the book have been very encouraging. According to Jeremiah Dibua (Morgan State University), “This book is an invaluable addition to the growing literature on Diasporas in general, and the African Diaspora in particular.” And Walter C. Rucker (Emory University) considers its chapters to “be vital contributions to discourse about Pan-Africanism and the Africa-Diaspora nexus for many years to come.” These opinions are most encouraging.
