definition: Pan-Africanism literally means “all Africanism.” It is a sociopolitical worldview as well as a movement, which seeks to unify both native Africans and those of the African Diaspora as part of a global African community. In recent years, continental pan-Africanism, the aspiration of political integration within the continent, has returned to the forefront of African politics and lies at the heart of many of the African Union's political projects.
