This facilitated panel moves beyond traditional Atlantic frameworks to explore the deep-rooted histories and vibrant contemporary lives of African-descendant communities in Asia. How do individuals and communities forge a sense of identity\, belonging\, and connection to an African homeland while navigating the complex cultural landscapes of India and China? This conversation brings two distinct scholarly approaches to bear on this vital question.  \nDr. Jazmin Eyssallenne (Center for Middle East and Islamic Studies MSI Fellow) will discuss her ethnographic research on the Sidi Sufi tradition in Gujarat\, India. In her talk\, “The Sidi Sufi Tradition and the African Diaspora in India\,” she reveals how the devotional song-dances\, veneration of African saints\, and preservation of East African cultural elements create a powerful and living link to the past. Dr. Eyssallenne demonstrates how this religious tradition serves as a crucial site for maintaining an African diasporic consciousness and bridging historical and contemporary waves of migration.  \nOur second panelist\, Dr. Rose Sackeyfio (Carolina Asia Center MSI Fellow) will present on “Mapping Geographies of Difference in Africa-China Encounters: Shifting Boundaries of Identity.” This presentation turns to the world of literature to explore transnational identity and place-making in the African experience of China. Through an analysis of novels from Ghanaian\, Kenyan\, and Zambian authors\, Dr. Sackeyfio’s research uncovers the “African literary imaginaries of China\,” examining how narratives of migration and assimilation in a non-Western space expand the discourse on diaspora and identity from the 15th century to the present day.  \nTogether\, these presentations offer a compelling dialogue on the study of Africans in Asia. They connect the lived\, embodied rituals of a centuries-old community in India with the imagined\, narrated experiences of modern migrants in China. The panel will explore the resonances between these projects\, highlighting shared themes of historical memory\, cultural preservation\, and the constant negotiation of identity in diaspora.  \nThis event will be held at the University Room in Hyde Hall. Refreshments will be served.  URL:https://research.uncg.edu/event/placing-africa-in-asia-identity-memory-and-community-in-india-and-china/ LOCATION:Hyde Hall\, University Room CATEGORIES:School of Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/avif:https://research.uncg.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Placing-Africa-in-Asia-TpVk0C.avif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260410T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260410T200000 DTSTAMP:20260516T124357 CREATED:20260401T171126Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260401T171126Z UID:10001028-1775844000-1775851200@research.uncg.edu SUMMARY:Film Screening and Panel Discussion: “Homage to a Hero: Reflections from Reverend Steve Allen” DESCRIPTION:@ \n \n \n\n\n\n“Homage to a Hero: Reflections from Reverend Steve Allen”\nthe International Civil Rights Center and Museum\, in collaboration with UNC-Greensboro’s departments of Media Studies\, History and University Libraries\, will honor Rev. Allen’s achievements with the short film\, Homage to a Hero: Reflections from Reverend Steve Allen\, at the ICRCM Auditorium. \nThe film portrays\, in Allen’s own words\, how\, over a successful career as an attorney\, judge\, and pastor\, he broke racial barriers and paved the way for generations to come. \nAfter the screening\, Rev.
