| Summary: | From panafricanism to reafricanizacion : Formation and realities of the Akan movement in the United States. In Cuba and in Brazil, the reafricanization of African American religions has been centered on the promotion of their Yoruba origins. Based on a fieldwork conducted in the United States in these past two years, this article shows how the specificities of North America in terms of reafricanization lie in the existence in this country of another « African » religion : the Akan religion. Always in close connections in North America, the Yoruba and the Akan movements will then give birth to a new syncretism that the author refers to as « Pan-African ». |
