Abstract

The article discusses Kenyan politician Tom Mboya, and the article he wrote about his back to Africa proposal, "The American Negro Cannot Look to Africa for an Escape," from the "The New York Times Magazine" of July 13, 1969. The article discusses the differences between African nationalism and black nationalism in the U.S., which include that one refers to nationalism while the other refers to tribalism. The impact of Mboya's work on the political career of U.S. President Barack Obama is discussed, as well as the founding of the African-American Students Foundation.
