-Similarly, describe at least 2 specific examples of African influenced cultural expressions (continuities) in the Latin American region (Argentina, Brazil, etc.)

-Identify and explain at least one pan-Africanist socio-political effort; what are the who, what, where, when and why of this effort and/or achievement?

-Identify and explain at least one pan-Africanist achievement in the Americas; what are the who, what, where, when and why of this effort and/or achievement?

-In your view, which part of the Americas (Caribbean or Latin America) has the most effective pan-Africanist activities?

-What is an example of structural challenges (and opportunities) women encounter in pan-Africanist movements?

-Based on Sheila Walker’s essay, what is your understanding of the diversity and wide geographical and historical reach of the African Diaspora?

-Having read these essays, and answered the preceding questions, what is your current intellectual position on the pan-Africanist assertion that people of African descent retained Africanism in the various parts of the world  and therefore they have justification to unite or coalesce to achieve shared political ends?
