Evidence

I believe this is the difference between a “cultural nationalist” approach to our African connection and the Pan-African imaginary, which has done so much over the years to keep these connections alive. The concept of “diaspora” is—for me—central to that imaginary. — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 1203

Categorization

• DEFINE: Hall distinguishes ‘cultural nationalist’ recovery of fixed origins from the Pan-African imaginary’s active maintenance of connection — the diaspora concept sits on the latter side.
