Conclusion: Toward a Transcontinental Anthropology of Afro–South Asian Entanglement Available to Purchase

The conclusion restates core arguments and draws lines of connection between the insecurities of expulsion and epistemological concerns surrounding the study of Afro–South Asian entanglement globally. Building on intellectual closures surrounding the 1972 Asian expulsion in the US academy and in Uganda/African studies and South Asian diaspora studies, it examines the possibilities and limitations of knowledge production on the expulsion in the African postcolonial nativist university and intensifying transcontinental South-South connections and the global circulation of social and student movements surrounding Black Lives Matter and decolonizing movements that emphasize circulation across Indian Oceanic and Black Atlantic geographies. Analyzing recent attacks on African Students in the Indian nation and the #GhandiMustFall (sic) Movement that began in Accra, Ghana and moved to the US and UK, the conclusion argues for global, democratic, and decolonized knowledge production on transcontinental Afro–South Asian entanglement and Afro–South Asian study more generally.
