L'Afrique aux Noirs by Paul Otlet
QR code
"L'Afrique aux Noirs" by Paul Otlet is a political and social discourse written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the complex themes surrounding the African diaspora, specifically focusing on the aspirations of African Americans for a return to Africa and the role of European colonizers in this context. Otlet presents a combination of historical observation and a humanitarian call to action regarding the African continent and its people. In
the text, Otlet discusses the emergence of Gilles Moss, a self-proclaimed "Black Moses," who inspires African Americans to seek repatriation to Africa. He outlines the historical plight of the African diaspora, highlighting the struggle for identity and belonging following their emancipation in the United States. Otlet argues for the responsibility of Europeans, particularly the Belgians, to facilitate this repatriation and to provide assistance in establishing a civilization in Africa led by its people. He envisions a future where African Americans contribute to the development of the Congo, blending African heritage with the progress of European civilization, ultimately summarizing his vision with the rallying cry, "L'Afrique aux noirs!"
