This is the political project of creating solidarity and revolutionary action between all African communities across the entire diasporic population. It is one way in which global anti-Blackness can be combatted. Pan-Africanism urges the countries of Africa to band together to throw off the chains of neocolonialism, which is necessary because of the historical forced underdevelopment of Africa by the Atlantic slave trade, and the union of interests and solidarity of movements in diasporic African communities (e.g., New Afrika in the U.S. Empire, Afro-Caribbean movements in Latin America, etc.).
