Pan-Africanism Reimagined: From Rhetorical Unity to Institutional Federation

Résumé

This article revisits Pan-Africanism Reimagined (2010) in light of a decade of political stagnation and digital recolonisation. I argue that the traditional discourse of "African unity" has functioned largely as a sentimental alibi, masking the absence of enforceable federative mechanisms. The article outlines a modular architecture of Pan-African institutions that can be prototyped by coalitions of willing states.
