ABSTRACT<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Our historical initiative aims to restore and rethink the Invisible Black narratives of Black African resistance figures in all their plurality. In speaking of history, we intend here to integrate a critical history of the \u00ab\u00a0Invisible Black figures\u00a0\u00bb (political, intellectual, social, cultural, military\/militancy aspects) in global narration. It will also be an opportunity to cross global and inclusive perspectives.\u00a0 The methodology contains the inter-crossing between the theory of Africana critical Studies with the Black Digital humanities as well as the methodology of J.August Rogers \u201cthe bran of history\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Africana critical theory<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Could this be the phenomenon of Resistance in Black History, a key to understand social Revolution in Global History?<\/p>\n

Recently, we are witnessing a profound crisis in the Historical<\/i> and Memory narration <\/i>of continental and diasporic Africans. Claiming the Black radical tradition as a deconstructive response to white<\/i> supremacy discourses, the Africana critical theory advances and applies also the dialectics of domination and liberation, which, in other words, is to say – using Fanon\u2019s famous phrase\u2014l\u2019exp\u00e9rience v\u00e9cue du Noir <\/i>(\u201cthe lived-experience of the Black\u201d).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bran of history\u00a0\u00bb theory flips the global narrative (Joel Augustus Rogers)<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Is it possible to establish a teaching tool capable of transmitting the historical heritage of African peoples, through a methodology that is both pan-African and Black radical?<\/p>\n

Rogers gathered what he called \u00ab\u00a0the bran of history\u00a0\u00bb. The \u201cbran of history\u201d was the uncollected, unexamined history of the world, and Rogers’ interest was the history of Black people. His scholarship was meant to shed light on unexamined areas of Africans history, as well as a perspective of history from the standpoint of resisters of Color, giving a counter-narration. Another piece of the \u201cthe bran of history\u00a0\u00bb is that it aims to methodologically engage scholars and writers in explicitly critiquing traditional approaches to history \u2014 including classical textbooks.\u00a0 The purpose of this approach is also to reformulate the debates and issues led by pan-Africanist researchers on the education of Black African peoples.<\/p>\n

Black Digital humanities<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Could Black Digital Humanities be the new social revolution to contest the dominant white<\/i> narrative in the digital global space? <\/b>Black Digital humanities is producing and disseminating research accessible to the public and promotes advancing narrations of the lives of African descendants in History. The critical aim of this so-called Black Digital Humanities is to bridge intersections between Digital Humanities and the interdisciplinary Black Studies field. Since diaspora has become an important area of digital scholarship, the role that technologies can have in engaging with the history of across African-descended people\u2019s ability to traverse and negotiate spaces in Western white<\/i> societies.<\/p>\n

The aim of this historical project is to explore the forgotten life and culture of people of African descent in Africa, and Black African Diaspora all over the world from the Black Holocaust to the modern Times.<\/p>\n
