Celebrating AHSA’s Golden Anniversary-Towards an African Renaissance: Africa and Diaspora Collaborations

 

The African Heritage Studies Association (AHSA) was founded in 1969 as association of scholars of African descent, dedicated to the exploration, preservation, and academic presentation of the heritage of African people on the ancestral soil of Africa and in the diaspora. For more than four decades it has been the major challenger of the Eurocentric view of Africa and African Studies and a leader of the struggle to ignite an African Renaissance.
