 Arguments about how to account for the unity of the Africana condition comprise one of the recurring subjects of Africana philosophy. This has often taken the form of debates about “Africanity,” the key contours of which have been helpfully chronicled by Souleymane Bachir Diagne  (2001).[1]  Unfortunately, that concept is ambiguous between studies of African commonalities—of what, say, Ghanaians and Eritreans share that Britons of African descent may not—and studies of African diasporic continuities. In deference to the distinctiveness of the concerns animating these studies and of the conclusions they often reach, I will reserve the notion of Africanity for studies focused on the continent and introduce the notion of Africanaity to indicate an interest in wider diasporic connections.
