Study Notes
- The paper explores the representation of disability within Pan-African thought, specifically drawing on Nkrumahist ideas.
- Pan-Africanists such as DuBois, Garvey, Padmore, Nkrumah, Nyerere, Cabral, Thiong’o, Lumumba have shaped Africa and African lives through their struggles for independence, justice, unity, and decolonization.
- The core critical lens of Pan-Africanism is ‘One Africa, Unity’ in economics, culture, spirituality, and collective consciousness of the African people.
- Critical Pan-Africanism/critical Nkrumahist theory centers ‘Africanness’ while decentering Eurocentric colonial constructions of the African and Africa identities.
- The continuous Westernization of Africa and African countries has led to the disablement of the continent and its people.
- The extraction of resources and appropriation of lands from rural areas creates several layers of disability.
- The paper seeks to ‘Sankofa” Nkrumah’s critical Pan-African vision as it allows for an “epistemological query, an intellectual and political journey through which the geo-African body comes” to be the central focus for thinking through the complexity of a neo-colonial door of no return ideology.
- Critical disability scholars need to rethink the world of disablism within a broader context.
- The paper aims to clarify how Euro-colonial processes of knowledge production, interrogation, validation, and dissemination have either denied or invalidated African humanity, self-respect, and cultural sense of knowing.
- The goal is to explore the history of critical Pan-Africanism while unpacking the work of its key theorists to understand how disability and disablism are conceptualized and how policies have been systematically structured affecting the continent, the countries within, Her governments, Her people, and the knowledge production of Her people, leading to the disablement of the entire continent.
