At the heart of debates and contestations over the character and scope of black/African nationhood was the issue of tribal identities and institutions. Some New African intellectuals argued that for a common black nationhood to emerge and thrive tribal identities should be jettisoned. Others held a different view, which did not consider tribal identities and institutions as detrimental to forging a common black nationhood. This paper discusses these perspectives and exposes their underlying assumptions regarding important concepts such as nation, tribe, and nationhood, and how these identities come into being. In discussing these debates and contestations, the paper demonstrates that there were and are nuances to the broad ideology of African nationalism that are often missed by some scholars who write on the African nationalist tradition. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Critical Arts: A South-North Journal of Cultural & Media Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
