Azakhiwe Z. Nocanda: The othering of Africans: a comparative analysis on the impact of internalised racism amongst Africans.
PhD-project: "The othering of Africans: a comparative analysis on the impact of internalised racism amongst Africans."
My research aims to examine the coloniality of Internalised racism as a phenomenon and how it’s longitudinal impact has influenced racial identity formation amongst B(b)lack-Africans in South Africa and Germany. Furthermore, the role of racial identity as a protective factor in the context of internalised racism remains unclear. Utilising Franz Fanon’s psychanalytical framework, Steve Biko’s Black Consciousness and W.B.E d Bois’s Double Consciousness as the main theoretical framework for this research. This selection of intellectuals has been critically evaluated, based on the chronology of ideas and traditions between these figures. It is evident that their work and contributions became more nuanced and rigorously developed as one moved from one figure to the next.
