Inhaltsangabe oder Einleitung
This paper helps the reader to understand Pan-Africanism and how Caryl Phillips deals with topics regarding this theory in “The Atlantic Sound”.
The theoretical background on Pan-Africanism and the diaspora is added upfront. I highlight how the diaspora shaped the concept of Pan-Africanism. To connect the given theory with the book, I describe the structure of the book and introduce the author and his background. I primarily focus on the chapter “Homeward Bound”. I explain the significance of the sea in The Atlantic Sound and how it is connected to the idea of (returning) home and diasporan identities.
Then, I take a closer look at the two characters, Dr. Abdallah and Dr. Lee. They arouse the readers’ interest through their diverse opinions on topics related to Pan-Africanism. I explain how the history of slavery shaped the ideas of identity and belonging to a certain geographical place. Further, I give an insight into the discussion on the responsibility of slave forts. In the end, I summarize the main findings and give an outlook on further possibilities of thematic discussion.
