Africana studies - exclusively about the African diaspora - are not African studies?

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Dear all,

Just took out from section African_studies#University-based_centers the following US organisations:

Africana Studies Institute, University of Connecticut, formerly Institute for African American Studies^[1]
Africana Cultures and Policy Studies Institute

as they appear to focus exclusively on the African diaspora, and so do not study Africa itself. Is this OK? Cheers, Hansmuller (talk) 13:44, 9 January 2023 (UTC) Hansmuller (talk) 13:44, 9 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
