Afrilition: Why the African diaspora matters for attaining a future of excellence, By Adéwálé Àjàdí

The African expression of identity and character in the 21st century has to be transcontinental. It has forever been so: in the DNA of human beings, both the mitochondrial and Y chromosomes go back to African origins. Afrilition, thankfully, offers Africanness based on self-identification, not genetic or even official origins. As a book or manifesto, the focus is the engagement of the willing or remnants, as there are many born on the continent who are white supremacist in orientation and mental model. This is nothing shocking, since their formal socialisation offers Africa as a foil to perceived European or Western excellence. Afrilition targets those who choose African identity worldwide.
