African Nationalism – Historical meaning

African nationalism is a political and social movement that emerged in the 19th and 20th centuries, advocating for the self-determination and independence of African nations from European colonial rule.

It aims to transform the identity of Africans, encouraging them to view themselves as part of a larger African community rather than just their specific ethnic groups.

Historical Context:

• Colonial Influence: African nationalism arose as a response to European colonialism, which imposed foreign political domination, racial segregation, and economic exploitation.
• Post-World War II: The movement gained momentum after World War II, as African colonies sought independence and self-governance.
