>I am seeking folks interested in being part of the 2006 American
>Historical Association meeting in Philadelphia. The theme is "Nations,
>Nationalism, and National Histories." I am working on ideas for several
>panels on "Alternative Notions of African Nationalism." I envision that
>the papers presented would deal with notions of African nationalism
>outside of the standard nation-state model such as pan-Africanism,
>Garveyism, return-to-Africa movements, ECOWAS, AU, etc. For example, I
>intend to present on Alexander Crummel and his notion of "African
>Nationality"--extending the boundaries of Liberia across Africa in the
>creation of a single Christian theocracy. If you are interested in being
>part of one of these panels, please contact me asap at the email
>address above. I will need an electronic abstract from you by Jan. 1.
