FollowPan Africanism at UNAZA, Lubumbashi
Today we engage with the intellectuals of Pan Africanism at UNAZA, the National University of Zaire in the 1970’s. After the 1969 Lovanium massacre, the entire university system, in what we know now as Democratic Republic of Congo, was reformed. The three major tertiary institutions became one, UNAZA. The entire social science and arts faculties shifted to Lubumbashi, along with the philosophers, historians and theorists of the time, including V.Y Mudimbe, Cheikh Anta Diop and many others.
