Landscape, Knowledge and Sense of Place: What Does Indigeneity Mean in the African Context

The theorising of African indigeneity in and of itself is challenging by virtue of the dominance of postmodern politics as an acceptable approach for Africans who are often seen as not Indigenous enough. The tensions become even more intense when the focus is diasporic or enslaved descendants; does these context render African indigeneity impossible or, simply non-existent? 

Possible questions to be addressed: What does it mean to be indigenous as an African ; Does the word “Indigeneity” the word Africans want to use? ; Is intrinsic culture carried in our beings due to forceful removals from our lands? Will tangible and intangible aspects of African indigeneity mean the built environment, sites, personal and symbolic meanings of regions or kinships within African cultural landscapes? Or is there more to it ; Do we reclaim Pan Africanism as a collective?
