Abstract:The author first considers the historical, political, organisational and ideological meanings and implications of the notion of the African diaspora. Next he examines the complex of imperialist, racialist and economic concerns which resonated In Europe and North America in the 1930s and which underlay the crisis which brought about the invasion of Ethiopia by Fascist Italy in 1935. Finally he analyses the response of the African diaspora to the invasion in terms of the intersection and interaction of these various forces. Notes, ref.
