Art as a form of resistance specifically fashion

Introduction

Diaspora is a formation created by the expulsion and violence. Talking of Diaspora requires a mental exercise consisting in understanding that can exist in multiple places at once. The place of existence, residence may be different from the place of origin. And that the genealogy and geography are to understand their tensions. Like the book by Paul Gilroy, The Black Atlantic. Modernity and Double consciouness (1993), the articles in this issue of Caribbean Studies devoted to the concept of diaspora should be read as a journey throughout the world. Member of the Center for Contemporary Cultural Studies founded by Richard Hoggart, Paul Gilroy has been a student of Stuart Hall, Professor of Cultural Studies of Jamaican origin. During its existence, the center line of research was to study the relationship between identity construction and power. The role of W.E.B Du Bois, Martin Luther King and Alex Walker was very important for promoting the rights of Blacks in American and other parts of the world. Therefore, all the issues related to the concept art is a form of resistance specifically fashion will be discussed in detail.

Du Bois thought that people cannot understand the importance of African Americans in the United States. He had a view that understanding of these people is simply not enough. He then participated for the launch of several movements for the emancipation of blacks. The finding of Du Bois was found in July 1900 in London, where he worked as a secretary at the first Pan African Conference organized by the Trinidadian lawyer Henry Sylvester-Williams (1869-1911). The purpose of this conference brings together about thirty people from England, the Caribbean and the United States was to protest against the actions of the colonizers on the African continent. The movement was to unite Africans and an African descendant in the Diaspora when Pan-Africanism was launched (Baber, 364).

However, blacks have not only participated in the development of modernity, they were at the center, says Gilroy. Whether WEB Du Bois, Richard Wright, Martin Robison Delany, Frederick Douglass participated directly in the ...
