The memory is a concept slippery. When one considers how the culture, history and society overlap and intertwine, the memory becomes a complex of relations between these elements. If one considers the affects of landscapes global, transnational and transdisciplinary, to which is added the various forms of production, distribution, exhibition and consumption, the movement of the memory becomes incredibly dynamic and sometimes overwhelming.

We can see how this happens in the redefinition and redistribution of identities macro/micro, and cultural citizenship within, across, and beyond designs canonists traditional of the continent, nation, geopolitical space and the socio-cultural identity (ethnicity, race, gender, social class, sexual orientation, etc).

Thus, the main field of study of this series of books is the irresistible changing landscape of the traditional academic fields of study of the humanities and social sciences. More precisely, the series of cultural studies and african diaspora focuses on the paradigms and places geopolitical produce, challenge and reproduce the knowledge relevant to african problems.
