This article explores the politics of knowledge as a less-studied aspect of the pre-WWII pan-Africanist politics, based on a close reading of African Journey, published in 1945 by Eslanda Goode Robeson. Wife of the famous actor, singer, and activist Paul Robeson, Eslanda Robeson was an aspiring anthropologist and pan-Africanist who traveled through the southern and eastern parts of the African continent in 1936. Originally planned as a field research trip to finish her Ph.D. in anthropology, the 1936 journey resulted not in a doctoral thesis but in a memoir and travelogue aimed at a popular audience. I analyze African Journey as an attempt to build an alternative system of knowledge production about Africa, one that stemmed from the Africans themselves and was mediated through the imagined kinship between local residents of the continent and the author. Robeson located the pan-African connection not in the past but in the present of the shared oppression, calling for a transnational and collaborative approach to racism and colonialism. She still displayed a certain trend of essentializing or even exoticizing Africa at times, most visibly apparent in her photographs that accompanied the text. Her brand of anti-colonial politics as a middle-class intellectual also drew information and inspiration from Western-educated elite segments of South African and Ugandan societies; the personal connections allowed her to claim authentic knowledge about local realities while precluding her from recognizing the limits of such knowledge. At once a political manifesto against European colonialism that stated “Africans are people,” a record of a Black woman’s personal pilgrimage to the symbolic “homeland” of the African diaspora, and an investigative report by a middle-class Western-educated anthropologist, African Journey provides with a unique but thought-provoking example of the dynamics and paradoxes of pan-African imagination in the twentieth century.
