| Sumario: | This article explores the movements of political ideas and moments of Pan-African collaboration and institution building in the context of African American book publishing. It cites the establishment of Drum and Spear Press in Washington, D.C. in 1968 by a group of former organizers of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. It discusses the role of Drum and Spear Press in the promotion of Tanzania's ideology of Ujamaa and in the development of a distinctive global Pan-African ideology. It also argues that the medium of print culture allowed Drum and Spear to utilize Kiswahili and other ideological tenets of Ujamaa to both transform African American cultural politics by developing an ideology of Pan-Africanism. |
