    African Multicultural Population
    (Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilization (CBAAC), 2012) OLUKEMI A. FADEHAN
    The story of the African past is well known. It has been the case of a continent fraught with the painful experiences of slavery and colonialism; one leading to the other. First, the period of slavery was characterized by massive movement of the African peoples as trade elements to Europe. It witnessed the removal of the significant workforce- quantitatively about two- thirds of the populations which fell between the fruitful years of 18 and 30 years to Europe.

    New frontiers in the teaching of African and diaspora history and culture
    (Concept, 2010) OLUKEMI A. FADEHAN
    This volume is a product of an international colloquium on the teaching of African history and culture to the diaspora and the teaching of diaspora history and culture to Africa, held in Brasilia in November 2009. The colloquium noted the importance of the teaching of African history to erasing the prevailing Eurocentric worldviews and to developing own knowledge systems. The book contains twenty-two chapters dealing with such issues as culture and rites in African indigenous societies, Africannness, closing the cultural divide between continental and diaspora Africans, the training of teachers in the history of Africa, representations of Africans in theatrical works, area studies in African and diaspora history, the creation of slave history in the film 'Sankofa' (Haile Gerima, 1993), African-based music education, oral traditions in teaching African history, and global African identity.
