Innovation and reproduction in Black cultures and societies cannot be effectively and meaningfully discussed or appropriately appraised without references to pre and post colonial periods with its attendant consequences, therefore bringing debates and a confusion of the meaning of Black cultures and societies or cultures and societies of Africans and African descended people/populations whether they are in Africa, South America, North America, the Caribbean etc. >From a comparative perspective, this section would be appraising emerging innovations bordering on Education, Health, Religion, Intra and International migrations in black cultures and societies. Other developmental issues are also welcomed. Papers may also evaluate loses and benefits and lessons gained as they interact with other cultures and societies. Papers are welcomed in the thematic areas and can be theoretical, analytical or empirical. Also papers, on conceptual nature, supported by textual examples, are welcome. A principal aim of the section during the conference is to initiate dialogue between experts from Africa, North America, South America, the Caribbean and Europe on African issues and to address the complexities surrounding major developmental issues in Africa and what future lessons we derive from these dialogues.
