Africanity Redefined: Collected Essays of Ali A. Mazrui, Volume I is the first of three volumes of Ali A. Mazrui's most important essays. The eventual three-volume work will provide readers with a broad spectrum of Professor Mazrui's writings during his four decades as a scholar and public intellectual. This first volume redefines the meaning of Africanity across geographical spaces, time, and cultures. The resulting definition is dynamic. It forces us to reject neo-imperialist paradigms and ontologies of what it means to be African. By encouraging us to think about Africanity as an idea rather than as point of origin, the ideas contained in these essays force us to reposition ourselves in the debate of our place in global cultures and civilizations, and they prepare us to take a more active role in social and political affairs.

This second volume of The Collected Works of Ali A. Mazrui will provide readers with a broad spectrum of Ali A. Mazui's scholarly writings.  With a special emphasis on the inextricability of conquest and counter-conquest, it considers Africa's interaction with other civilizations from historical, sociological, philosophical and political perspectives.  By engaging a refreshing approach to such seminal themes as "culture,' "civilization," "universalism" and "modernization," these essays address the complex economic, religious, ideological, and artistic interactions between Africa and other civilizations throughout history. Timely and illuminating, this volume contributes to our understanding of current world events, especially in relation to Africa and the "Third World" after the Cold War and the emerging international order Mazrui calls "Global Apartheid."

Islam in this twenty-first century is caught between three inter-related forces - globalization, international terrorism and the rise of the American Empire. This book examines those forces from the perspective of the rise and fall of civilizations. If Edward Gibbon and Arnold Toynbee could trace the decline of the Roman Empire to the challenge of Christianity, should we now anticipate the decline of the American Empire through the challenge of Islam? Ali Mazrui analyses the stresses and strains of relations between Islam and the West in this era of tense globalization. Issues of church and state within societies interact with issues of ideology and power in foreign relations. ALI A. MAZRUI is Director of the Institute of Global Cultural Studies at the State University of New York at Binghamton and Senior Scholar in African Studies at Cornell University North America: Africa World Press; Kenya: EAEP
