African peoples occupy the bridge between a dying and an emerging world order

Evidence

Physically and ideologically, and for rather unique historical reasons, African peoples bridge the decline of one world order and the eruption (we may surmise) of another. It is a frightful and uncertain space of being. If we are to survive, we must take nothing that is dead and choose wisely from among the dying. — Cedric J. Robinson, Black Marxism_ The Making of the Black…, 1443
