The Black family unit and community plays a critical role in Black youths’ self-development, cultural socialization, and ability to navigate the impacts of structural anti-Black racism embedded in Canadian society. However, Black families are at an increased risk of separation from their children in Ontario’s child welfare system. Utilizing anti-Black racism theory, this study investigates the narratives of 27 Black Caribbean youth in the Greater Toronto Area with lived experience in out-of-home care. Using a narrative inquiry as a methodological approach, the findings reveal that Black youth in out-of-home care experienced; (1) social, psychological, and cultural isolation; (2) the disregard of their hygiene and unique hair needs and; (3) a critical conscious awareness of anti-Black racism. Recommendations for practice, research, and policy are discussed to adequately respond to the needs of Black children and their families.

This paper examines the exclusion of Vanessa Nakate, a Ugandan climate activist, from a group photo published by the Associated Press (AP) during the 2020 World Economic Forum. Using the muted group theory, it explores the implications of Nakate’s omission as the sole black individual in the image, shedding light on the broader issue of symbolic annihilation faced by black women activists in Western media. Through visual and textual analysis, the study reveals the power dynamics and biases behind AP’s decision to crop Nakate, fueling subsequent controversy. Furthermore, the paper examines AP’s response to the backlash, analyzing their strategies to rebuild their reputation, including issuing an apology and releasing the original photograph.

The article is situated within the conceptual lineage of St. Clair Drake and Horace Cayton’s groundbreaking Black Metropolis model. However, it provides a new way of considering this intellectual heritage. The analysis suggests that African American traditions of Pan-Africanism have not been expansively addressed in their magnitude on Black urban sociology. Drake and Cayton’s theorization is reconfigured as it exists within a Pan-African value system for the contemporary Black (Diasporic) city. The research presents “unsung” Pan-African tropes that are central to the maintenance of the Black city’s identity and psychological cohesion. If the mind is the “primary battlefield” as Garvey insists, then it is important to note the (beneficial) psychological impact that African American redemption and the Pan- African Metropolis can bestow on African Americans. The discussion locates Pan-Africanism as a tangible operating mechanism on African Americans’ lifestyle, mental health, and (Africanized) identities within Detroit’s Black community. Field observations of Detroit’s African World Festival connect these festival spaces as they characterize and drive the city’s identity, psychology, economic considerations, and ultimately, Pan-African groundings. The sustainability of an Afrocentric philosophy and psychology has enhanced the Black city in the manifestation of a distinctive cultural political economy. The Pan African Metropolis emerged during Detroit’s Black Arts Movement (the 1970s of my youth). To this end, the article pushes back against “the lie” which overgeneralizes African Americans in a Black deficit homogeneity, whereas the “alleged Black American monolith” is not connected to any operating African continuum in their daily lives.

Using a Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Framing Theory as a lens, this study extends the literature on media representations through an examination of the framing and tone toward Black fathers illustrated in Instagram memes in 2022. Study findings indicate that Instagram offers a means for individuals to share positive messages about this marginalized group. Social media was used to offer messages of hope that framed Black fathers positively, often referencing the Black Lives Matter movement to encourage individuals to recognize the value of Black men in the lives of children and families. Memes offered counter-narratives to the traditional racist narratives that have plagued Black men historically. The findings of this study are important for advancing future research in this area and underscoring the powerful role of social media in shifting narratives about Black fathers.

This article builds on the prevalent discussions of Western and Asian prestigious states to provide a distinct account of power and prestige in black diplomacy through the lens of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade (T-AST), colonization, and neocolonialism. The principal argument is twofold namely; that T-AST and colonization have contributed significantly to prestige deficit of African states and contemporary forms of racism and discrimination targeted at blacks in the diaspora. Second, the paper argues that the pursuit of prestige recovery by African states, notably through attainment of political independence, has been undermined by neocolonialism. The analysis helps to fill a major gap in the literature with respect to the limited attention paid to African states and black communities in the rejuvenated discussion of prestige in International Relations. The policy recommendation is that power and prestige need to be redefined along the lines of genuine respect and cooperation between African societies and foreign powers.

This article engages the perpetual denigration of African Traditional Knowledge System (ATKS) by African governments in favor of western biomedical approaches during the COVID-19 pandemic. We demonstrate that the COVID-19 pandemic has once again put the spotlight on the alternative approaches to health and the need for a holistic and broader understanding of these practices in Africa. Using a literature review on health sectors across Africa and cases of traditional health medicines and use in selected countries, we show the Afro cosmo vision and understanding of health, and we make a case for a non-western health approach that is holistic, endogenous, and community-centered. We argue that health approaches need to be anchored on proper understanding of African societies, whose approach to health encompasses the spiritual, emotional, and physical aspect of one’s existence. Our work lends support for the importance of having a multidimensional holistic health system and approach for universal health coverage (UHC) toward the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs) in Africa which encompasses ATKS in dealing with pandemics.

While African Americans were in the midst of the zenith of the Civil Rights Movement, Afro-Jamaicans endured civil unrest, Black militant activism, and political changes that eventually resulted in its independence in 1962. While the global impact and influence of African American activism, especially of leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Stokely Carmichael, among others, is well known, little has been written on the influence of Jamaican culture, ideology, and nationalism on the global freedom movement. This research article situates Jamaican activism and ideology as central to the transnational, Pan-African Black resistance movements, specifically in the United States, illustrating that African Americans were deeply influenced by and interested in Jamaican activism and culture.

Ethnogenesis is a powerful mechanism which outlines how ethnic groups are formed. It is a complex process which often involves factors such as migration, cultural exchanges, intermarriage as well as religion. Ethnogenesis is also described as the historical and contemporary emergence of a group of people who define themselves in relation to a common socio-cultural and historical heritage. Focusing on African American migration during the Great Migration and its subsequent reverse migration, this manuscript uses the theme of ethnogenesis to describe how migration to northern cities were shaped by a desire for solidarity and opportunity in as much as an escape from racial violence in the South. In the current trend of reverse migration, this work contends that migration is built on a need for opportunity as well as a desire for connectedness to ancestral homelands in the South. Examining the emergence of the “New South” in the post Jim-Crow landscape, this work evaluates the cultural, social and economic appeal of current migration streams. Using data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) files, significant population declines are reported in former destinations like San Francisco, Chicago, and New York. Data also show southern resurgences in destinations like Lafayette, Louisiana and Charlotte, North Carolina. Likewise, there are also marked increases in new destinations like Las Vegas, Nevada and Phoenix-Mesa-Glendale, Arizona. Additionally, data show that the Black population is growing in its diversity as well as density. People who identify as single-race Black, Black Latinx, and Black multiracial are a large (and growing) part of the Black population.

Xenophobia in South Africa is often depicted as anti-immigrant sentiments and stereotypes that emanate from social, political, and economic misconceptions. This paper argues that though the causes of xenophobia are many and complex, they stem from the dashed hopes of independence and the legacy of apartheid. This narrative has over the years been overshadowed by the view that xenophobic attacks in South Africa are a product of hate and anti-migration. We argue that the failure of successive governments of the ANC to correct the wrongs of the apartheid past and make the economy inclusive has stoked the tensions between citizens and foreign nationals. To underscore this point, this paper undertakes a discussion on the pertinent implications of the political trajectory of xenophobia in South Africa and makes some recommendations on what can be done to reduce incidences of xenophobic attacks in the future.

This study is an investigation of how Black faculty, staff, administration, and students relate to one another at an institution of higher education, and how their campus experiences diverge and converge. Twenty-one focus group interviews were conducted with 26 Black students, 18 Black faculty members, and 17 Black staff members and administrators. The objective was to contribute knowledge that could lead to more informed service, teaching, support, administration, and leadership on the Black campus and in the university. Several themes were discovered in the analysis, resulting in the identification of key challenges faced by the Black campus, the solutions respondents perceived as promising, and the supports they benefit.
