- Description:
- Jamie Monson, professor of History and Director of the African Studies Center at Michigan State University, presents a discussion entitled, "Putting Two Continents on Track: African and Chinese Railroad Builders during the Cold War". Monson discusses the historical context of the relationship between Africa and China beginning with the construction of the TAZARRA Railway connecting Tanzania to Zambia, a pan-African project which China was deeply involved with. She focuses her history by exploring the labor conditions experienced by the laborers building the railway and uses clips from oral histories she has collected to illuminate her arguments. Monson answers questions from the audience. She is introduced by John Beck, professor of Human Resources and Labor Relations. Part of the "Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives" Brown Bag series sponsored by the MSU African and Asian Studies Centers, the MSU School of Human Resources and Labor Relations and the MSU Museum.

- Description:
- This essay attempts to analyse the role and organisation of the North American delegation at the Seventh Pan African Congress held in Kampala, Uganda, from April 3-8, 1994 within the context of current political movements in the United States. Particular attention will be paid to more recent events taking place in the United States, such as the Million Man March, to elucidate the current crisis in African-American leadership. I will argue that this crisis has very real implications with regard to fostering solidarity and redefining a Pan Africanism that is shaped by the needs and aspirations of the producers who make up the overwhelming majority of the African diaspora and the continent.
